  This looked cool but I couldn’t find any identifying marks on it.
  
  Anyone have any thoughts on how to describe?

  Are the “scales” actually metal or are they shell? Some shells have that cool reflective look when polished. Unfortunately I’ve not seen these before.

  The word iridescent comes to mind.

  It looks like “mother of pearl” or nacre. Are you sure its not somehow inlaid?

  My vote is for abalone b/c of the bright colors. Mother of pearl is more whitish.
