Mother-of-pearl (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nacre

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

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