Mother-of-Pearl

Mother-of-pearl is not a mineral stone; it is an organic gem material formed on the inner surface of seashells. It is associated with the water element, flow, compassion, protection, and adaptability. Its soft luster is interpreted in spiritual narratives as a symbol of calmness and emotional sensitivity.
