The iridescent sheen of Golden Shell Mother of Pearl
Iridescence rules this slab: the mother-of-pearl pieces show iridescent highlights over a honey gold background. The mosaic alternates angular golden pieces, pearly white and beige touches in a medium contrast. Variation within the slab is moderate and goes from piece to piece: there are no veins crossing the surface. The finish of this slab is the bright polish seen in the photo.

Golden Shell Mother of Pearl, in five questions
Is MOP Golden Shell a single stone?
They are bonded pieces: the mosaic is assembled by hand from angular pieces of natural mother of pearl and resin on a base. MOP Golden Shell is another name for golden shell mother of pearl; MOP is short for mother of pearl. Before you buy, we send you photos of the slabs available for your order.
Can golden shell mother of pearl be used in a bathroom with a shower?
Only outside the shower: the sink or a bathroom wall, yes. A shower with direct water is no place for a panel of pieces bonded with resin. In the bathroom, golden mother of pearl goes where the spray does not hit it.
Does it look different with a light behind it?
No. This slab is not translucent: light from behind does not pass through it, as it can with agate or onyx. What you see in the photo is the iridescent sheen of the pieces with the shine of the polish.
How do you clean a golden shell mother of pearl slab?
Water and a cloth that does not scratch take care of cleaning this slab. Scouring pads, abrasive powders and solvents stay out: the resin between the pieces is the delicate part. And on a table, trivets under any hot source, because direct heat is what the resin handles least.
Can this slab ship to any country?
Yes. We ship to any country, with the stone's documents of origin and its CE certification. On the shipping page we explain how it reaches each region.
