Mother-of-pearl (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nacre

'mother-of-pearl' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire 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 Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard, The New York Times, The Times, The Mirror, The Independent, the King Feature Syndicate, The Guardian and the LA Times.
