Sentences with CONCHIOLIN (3)
Pearls are composed partly of the mineral substance calcium carbonate (chemically the same as marble) and partly of a tough, horny substance of organic nature called conchiolin.
This is deposited by the mollusc in very thin crystalline layers in the horny layers of conchiolin, so that the lining of the shell is built of approximately parallel layers of mineral and of animal substance.
The conchiolin forms a sort of membranous framework for the shell; it soon disappears in dead specimens, leaving the shell much more brittle than it was when alive.
