Mother of Pearl is the common name for iridescent nacre, a blend of Minerals that are secreted by oysters and other mollusks and deposited inside their shells, coating and protecting them from parasites and foreign objects. Nacre is the same substance that is deposited around an object that becomes lodged in the mollusk--either naturally or inserted by humans--to become a pearl. (Wickell)

Throughout history, pearls have shown themselves in practically every civilization imaginable. One of the reasons why Pearls are adorned and coveted is for their beauty. As pearls earned their reputation as a treasure, they were also used as currency.
