Mother-of-pearl - Tenderness
Mother-of-pearl is a precious material known since the beginning of time. It is produced by some molluscs to cover the inner part of their shell. Its colours and iridescent reflections are due to the different refraction indexes of the layers it’s made of. Mother-of-pearl is said to have soothing and protective properties, as it evokes maternal love and tenderness; it’s also meant to enhance the circulation of energy throughout the body.

From Buddhism and Hinduism, it passed to Islam and from Islam it was passed on to Christianity in times of the Crusades. The mala or rosary is used to count devotional words or mantras.
