Mother Of Pearl Bracelet Is Abalone The Same As Mother Of Pearl, Or Does The Mollusk Genus Differ Between The Two?

Is Abalone the same as Mother of Pearl, or does the mollusk genus differ between the two? - mother of pearl bracelet

My understanding is that specific or abalone Haliotis Haliotidae or gender, but the Pearl is (only the secretion of nacre in the shell) Haliotidae, family and sex Trochidae Turbinidae May.

Moreover, I think is more colorful abalone in general, or just certain types?

Pendants and beads can choose from a variety of fish and marine and freshwater mollusks. Abalone (genus Haliotis) shell to create beautiful, but it is relatively difficult to obtain, and their harvest is regulated. A large part of the commercial shells (for buttons and other) is produced from lower value species such as clams.
