A new window will open and you'll be able to get yourself a real bargain.Nacre, also known as mother of pearl, is a naturally-occurring organic-inorganic composite. The iridescent nacre of a Nautilus Nacre is composed of hexagonal platelets of aragonite (calcium carbonate (CaCO3) crystals) that are 10-20 µm wide and 0.5 µm thick, arranged in a continuous parallel lamina. The layers of platelets are separated by sheets of organic matrix that are composed of elastic biopolymers (such as chitin, lustrin and silk-like proteins). This mixture of brittle platelets and the thin layers of elastic biopolymers makes the material strong and resilient. Strength and resilience are also likely to be due to adhesion by the "brickwork" arrangement of the platelets, which inhibits transverse crack propagation. Courtesy of Wikipedia
