Close-up view of the nacre platelets. Their surface is rough, providing friction when they slide over each other.

Ice crystals growing in a colloidal suspension, observed by X-ray computed tomography.
The brick and mortar structure of the abalone shell. The protein layer, between the platelets, can clearly be observed here.
The nacre in the abalone is growing layer by layer. We don’t have the time to do that.
