Mother of Pearl, a versatile material that can be found on a delicate earring or in a dazzling mosaic ceiling. It's iridescence is strong yet delicate, a veritable yin and yang as the mother of pearl substance is the secretion of freshwater and some salt-water mollusks. In other words, it's the material that makes the shell around a muscle or an oyster often called nacre (NAY-cur). Ever pick up a shell on the beach and the inside portion of the shell is blazing with color compared to the seemingly plain and even sometimes unattractive outer shell? Well you are looking at the nacre. Why is it called mother of pearl? It is this substance wraps around an irritation in an oyster for example, and creates that wondrous beauty we know as the Pearl. So yes it is the Mother of the pearl.

MP has been said to represent fertility and rebirth. This seems natural as the nacre is the substance that crates the pearl and gives birth to something new from something else. In cultured pearls MP beads are often used as the nucleus of the pearl. The process is fertility can be seen in the mollusks' ability to constantly secrete the nacre substance throughout it's life-cycle.
