Nacre



"What is Nacre? Literally, Nacre is the fluid which brings a pearl to life. The pearl — that exquisite specimen of priceless beauty and desire — will only begin to form a nucleus if an irritant happens to enter an oyster. This disturbing influence then stimulates this fluid within the oyster known as Nacre, which will proceed to cover the nucleus one layer at a time. As these layers of Nacre envelope the nucleus and keep multiplying, the pearl takes shape. Just as the pearl is created layer by layer, we, too, grow one layer at a time. The difficulties which each of us must face in our lives are given to us as gifts. Just as the pearl needs that irritant to become an object of beauty, we, too, must experience "irritants" in the form of obstacles and challenges to help us grow. As we learn to acknowledge and embrace our "irritants", we create the seeds of possibility within us to help us express our greatness."


After all the "irritants" in life we'll have enough to make a pearl necklace! I hope this is true...

I found this while looking up defense technologies. There was a company name mix up...clearly I was not on the right website.
