Mother of Pearl Chippings For a finish with genuine shimmer, little matches mother of pearl. This aggregate is produced from 100% post-consumer pearl shell, so it brings a natural, iridescent lustre to terrazzo floors, resin projects and memorial work, all while giving a waste material a second life. Mixed into wet concrete and sanded back to expose the shell, or set with epoxy resin, it delivers a soft, shifting sheen you simply cannot fake. What Mother of Pearl chippings are This is a decorative shell aggregate, made entirely from recycled pearl shell. It is available in 3 to 6 mm, 9 to 12 mm and 12 to 20 mm sizes, with the 9 to 12 mm and 12 to 20 mm Venetian sizes being the most commonly used. In terrazzo, it needs to be combined with mirror aggregates to bring out its full effect, and it works equally well in epoxy resin for natural stone carpets and decorative floors.
