Mother-of-pearl (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nacre

'mother-of-pearl' is the definition.
(I know that mother-of-pearl can be written as nacre)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for nacre that I've seen before include "inside of shell" , "Constituent of inlay furniture" , "valuable material" , "Pearl's mum" , "Mother of pearl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the LA Times, The New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Times, The Mirror, The Telegraph, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard and The Guardian.
