These two minerals make the mussel shell particularly durable and resistant to the elements, with aragonite giving the shell a smooth, iridescent finish. This difference in mineral structure between the two compounds contributes to the unique texture and appearance of the mussel shell.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrganic Matrix (Conchiolin): Mussel shells also contain an organic material known as conchiolin, a protein substance that binds the calcium carbonate crystals together.
