AI overview
Nacre is the shimmering, iridescent layer found inside certain shells, like those of nautiluses and oysters, that creates the lustrous appearance we call mother-of-pearl. It matters because its unique combination of strength and beauty has made it valuable for both decorative objects and as a subject of scientific study for understanding natural materials.
