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