Stone Wisdom: Nacre, also known as mother of pearl or sadaf, is a naturally occuring organic-inorganic composite. It is formed of layers of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) platelets (crystals), in the form of aragonite and conchiolin (a scleroprotein), separated by elastic biopolymers (such as chitin and lustrin). This mixture of hard and elastic domains makes the material strong and resilient. Strength and resilience is also likely to be due to the offset or "brickwork" arrangement of the platelets, which inhibits transverse crack propagation.
Mother of Pearl gets its name from the fact that it is the iridescent lining of shell, where pearls can grow. Mother of Pearl has both traditional and New Age metaphysical and healing lore. It is said to attract prosperity. It is used in mystical work and lore to heighten intuition, psychic sensitivity, and imagination. It is purported to protect from negative influence, and transmute negative energy. It is said to be highly protective and a particularly potent stone of protection for children. A traditional lore use of Mother of Pearl is to purify environments. Mother of Pearl is also used in metaphysics to access primordial and racial memories. Crystal healing and folklore say that Mother of Pearl is helpful for high blood pressure, dizziness, improving vision, cataracts, and wound healing." Location: Hand-Crafted
