Highly
valued as sensual, enduring gems of the sea, White Mother of Pearl
shells (Pinctada maxima oyster) are cultured on farms in the crystal
clear turquoise seas of Northern Australia.
White Mother of Pearl shell, a by product of Pearl production, consists
of the same lustrous material as the pearl itself.
Traditionally used for buttons, the shell is now used for jewellery,
laminate, and tiles. |
