  • Fragment of an Abalone shell; color enhanced scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through an abalone (Haliotis sp.) shell. The shell is composed of layers of overlapping platelets of calcium carbonate crystals, or aragonite,  Between the layers are thin sheets of protein (not seen). This structure makes the shell much stronger than the materials would be in any other arrangement.  Abalones are edible mollusks found in warm seas. The thin layers of shell reflect light using the wave nature of light.  Each thin layer reflects a particular wavelength – together the layers reflect wavelengths of light that constructively interfere to create bright greens and blues. Magnification: x8000 when printed at 10 cm wide.

  • Scanning electron microscope image of a Blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) shell.  Colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The shell of a mollusc is a tough exoskeleton formed from calcium carbonate (aragonite or calcite). It evolved as a protective barrier to predators. Magnification: 3,740x and the image is 30 um wide.

  • A seashell was heated in a lime kiln to convert the shell material into lime.  Limelight also known as calcium light is a type of stage lighting once used in theaters.  A bright light is created when a sample of quicklime (calcium oxide). The light is produced by  incandescence.  The historic use of the light still services as someone in the public eye is still said to be ?in the limelight.? .Lime is produced by heating calcium carbonate until the extra carbon and oxygen atoms are driven off leaving just the calcium oxide.  This process is very easy and takes place in a lime kiln. Lime can be made from sea shells, chalk, and many types of rock - including marble.

  • An X-ray of two Pearl Strands.  The fake pearl strand is made from plastic and x-rays can easily pass through, while the real pearls are much denser to the x-rays and are shown at the bottom of the picture.  Real Pearls are accretions of nacre (calcium carbonate) secreted by certain oysters and mussels. The presence of a foreign body (such as a parasite or a grain of sand) within the shell triggers the secretion of nacre by the mollusk?s mantle. Thin layers are deposited on the irritant particle and, over several years, a pearl is formed.
