Mother of pearl

Mother-of-pearl is a natural material composed of thin layers of calcium carbonate, which gives it its iridescent shine. Mother-of-pearl forms inside the shells of certain mollusks, to protect their shells from irritants, such as parasites or grains of sand. It is known for its iridescent shine, its shades ranging from white to pink, blue, or green.

Energetically, mother-of-pearl is renowned for its soothing properties, helping to calm emotions, offer protection and promote intuition.

It is associated with the solar plexus chakra, strengthening self-confidence, and sometimes the heart chakra, for love and harmony. Astrologically, mother-of-pearl is particularly beneficial for water signs, such as Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio, as it resonates with their intuitive and emotional nature, providing support and balance.
