Nacre:

It comes from Arabic and means conch. The shells that provide the most beautiful mother-of-pearl include haliotids, nautiluses, and pintadinas, among others. Depending on the animal's diet, pearls of many different colors can be obtained. Black pearls can even be found in the South Pacific Ocean. The mother-of-pearl of the New Zealand haliotis australis species, with its iridescent blue-green sheen, was used by the Maori for centuries to create inlays on mystical wooden carvings.

In India, it is the goddess of the rainbow, solidified into stone when she fled from the troublesome gods.
