Spiritual & Cultural Significance:
Mussel shell has long been valued for its connection to the water element, symbolizing intuition, adaptability, and emotional healing. These shells are perfect for adding natural energy to creative or spiritual projects.

Science & Composition:
Primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) in the crystalline aragonite form, with minor organic compounds that contribute to the unique color and iridescence. The natural formation process within the mussel creates the pearlescent layering, giving each piece its distinct shimmer.

Care:
• Keep away from harsh chemicals or prolonged water exposure.
• A light natural oil or resin polish can enhance the shine if desired.
• Due to the natural freeform shape, edges may be sharp. Handle with care.

These beads are naturally strong but nacre can be brittle if dropped on hard surfaces — treat them with the same care you would give to pearls or other nacre-based materials.
