Nacre, also known as mother of pearl, is an organic–inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs as an inner shell layer; it is also the material of which pearls are composed. It is strong, resilient, and iridescent. ... Nacre appears iridescent because the thickness of the aragonite platelets is close to the wavelength of visible light. These structures interfere constructively and destructively with different wavelengths of light at different viewing angles, creating structural colours. [1]

 

Depending on the lighting, this suit always looks slightly different, shimmers in different colors and can appear from metallic reflective to dark matte. Simply brilliant!
