Mother of Pearl is a shell product, but still seems like it should be with the Gemstones. This is the bleached version, so it is a lovely, pearly white to cream color. It has a translucent look, with occasional areas that are more opaque.
6mm Mother of Pearl Round Beads. Creamy white color is achieved via bleaching natural (tan colored) Mother of Pearl. Sold on 16" (40cm) strands.
