MOTHER-OF-PEARL

The word Nacre gets its name from the Arabic “naqqarah”, which means shell or seashell. There is no artificial substitute for nacre. Its imitation is made from a synthetic material, plastic in origin, called nacarine.

The best mother-of-pearl comes from mollusks such as abalone, snails and oysters that are found in tropical seas, mainly around Australia, the Philippines, South Sea Islands, Panama and Baja California. Mother-of-pearl is also formed in the same way in mollusk shells in European waters.

PROTECTION: It is said that mother-of-pearl has the power to bring balance to our character and boost our energy, acting as a good luck charm to ward off evil.
