Mother of Pearl is sometimes called Nacre, is obtained from the internal lining of either
the pearl oyster shell or the abalone shell. It brings with it the gentle healing powers of the seas. Mother of Pearl is both relaxing
and soothing to the emotions. It is considered both a stress relieving stone and a very protective stone.
Throughout history, certain cultures have placed little or no value on pearls and have focused instead on luminescent mother-of-pearl
from mollusk shells. Before the 19th century, Japanese shell divers who found pearls apparently did not bother to keep them. Polynesian
children are said at one time to have used pearls as marbles. These and other peoples harvested pearl oysters for their shells, using
the mother-of-pearl for decoration. Abalone was also popular with many groups, including those in the Americas: people ate the flesh
of the mollusks and used pieces of colorful abalone shell as inlay on carved objects made of wood, ivory and bone.
