Discover Reef fish scale polished mosaic tile, a decorative wall tile with a shine all its own. This terrazzo features iridescent mother-of-pearl chips densely set into a cement base, cut into an ornamental 5-inch fish scale format. A polished finish completes this tile’s enchanting look. Luster and sheen are what make Reef terrazzo an undeniably compelling decorative wall tile. This collection refashions the Italian technique of terrazzo by replacing the traditional natural stone chips with brilliant mother-of-pearl. Reef terrazzo adds an element of drama to your choice of light and dark colorways. Mother-of-pearl, also known as nacre, is a composite material of organic proteins and crystalline minerals, produced by mollusks as their shell’s inner lining. The freshwater and saltwater varieties are both prized for their iridescence and durability. It can be crushed into a terrazzo’s base material to make it sparkle or mixed in as chips, as is the case with the Reef terrazzo collection.
