Very specialized material that the abalone self assembles, millions of abalone, all the time, every day, every year.

And a lot of people might use structures like abalone shells, like chalk.

And so, going back to this abalone shell, besides being nano structured, one thing that's fascinating, is when a male and a female abalone get together, they pass on the genetic information that says, This is how to build an exquisite material.

It took them about 50 million years to learn how to perfect how to make that abalone shell.

The abalone shell here and if you fracture it, you can look at the fact that it's nano structured.

When the organism dies, its shell is deposited on the shallow sea floor and buried over time to create the limestone sedimentary rock of the lithosphere.

And why? Because the lowly abalone is able to lay down the calcium carbonate crystals in layers, making this beautiful, iridescent mother of pearl.

Marine organisms in the biosphere create calcium carbonate shell material (CaCO3) that is rich in oxygen.

What if they had some of the same capabilities that an abalone shell did, in terms of being able to build really exquisite structures at room temperature and room pressure, using non toxic chemicals and adding no toxic materials back into the environment?
