Mother of Pearl is an organic gem composed primarily of calcium carbonate. Pearls are created by living oysters in the depths of the sea; if a foreign body penetrates the oyster, a profuse secretion of a pearly substance will encase the unwelcome guest, giving rise to the precious gem.
Mother of Pearl's versatility makes it a perfect match for any skin tone. To test whether a pearl is natural or not, simply run it gently along the edge of your teeth. A real pearl will feel rough and bumpy, while a fake pearl will have a softer feel.
Mother of Pearl is found mainly in Japan, China, Tahiti, Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, the USA, and Burma.
