Mother of pearl is made from protective layers of calcium carbonate which line the inside of the pearl oyster shell. This is the same natural process and material as the pearl, and takes up to seven years to form. This particular "snow white" specimen is the cleanest white that nature can produce and is stunning in appearance. The beautiful shimmering white you see in this mother-of-pearl is caused by the repeating layers of pure white mineral going deep into the shell. These large scale panels of specimen pieces of mother of pearl have been meticulousy laid out to take full advantage of the natural beauty of the shell stone. Suitable for indoor use only.
