The inner nacreous layer of a mollusk, or of a snail shell which has
an iridescent play of color, is called mother-of-pearl or mother of the pearl.
Nacre (also written as nacker or naker) is a synonym of mother-of-pearl, is
the iridescent internal layer of a mollusk shell. The one with a blue-green
iridescent color play are called mother-of-pearl of the paua mussel, or abaloni
shells, most from New Zealand, ( now a lot of them from China). The abaloni
shells are also called sea opal. Because it has beautiful color effects similar
to those found in opal, abaloni shells has been used for centuries by Maori
people for inlays in mystical carvings and jewelry ornaments. According to gemstone
healing art, mother of pearl soothes and reduces stress and worry, balances
physical energy, puts one in touch with the all-nurturing Sea Mother.
