Iridescence is an optical phenomenon that gives Mother of Pearl its characteristic shine and produces a rainbow of different colors depending on how light hits it. The insides of certain seashells are made up of multiple thin layers of material, which are responsible for creating this shimmering effect. Incidentally, pearls are created in a similar process. The thin overlying layers break and reflect light differently, resulting in a color spectrum that you can also find in a rainbow.
