Nacre, or mother of pearl, is an organic–inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs as an inner shell layer; it is also the material of which pearls are composed. It is strong, resilient, and iridescent.
Mother of pearl coloration is actually a result of structural coloration, meaning its microscopical structures are fine enough to interfere with visible light. However, natural nacre may be artificially tinted to almost any color.
