Crushed Creamy White Mother of Pearl Flakes (2mm-4mm) for Woodworking Inlay, Resin Art, Embellishments or Orgone Pyramids

Used for decorative purposes in ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia, China, and Egypt, mother of pearl was valued for its beauty and was often associated with royalty. Today, mother of pearl continues to be a sought-after inlay material for woodworkers, ringmakers, jewelers, and luthiers. This iridescent nacre, harvested from the inner shells of certain bivalves, including oysters and large clams, is relatively soft (3.5 Mohs Hardness) and is quite easily sanded. This crushed mother of pearl would be a great choice for adding an elegant touch to your creative projects.

Please note that wet stones can appear darker, which may resemble the finished look of the material after it's sealed with an adhesive.

We use the metric system for all size measurements, with units in millimeters (mm). Refer to the product photos for a visual guide using a metric ruler (cm/mm).
