    All shell based mother of pearl is toxic. The dust is very similar to asbestos fiber. I have worked extensively with it for years as a semiprecious gemstone in the lapidary/jewelery industry. It should always be kept wet and worked with in a negative pressure exhaust work area to protect the worker. All that said, this man is a National Treasure for his country, absolutely outstanding work and I'm glad he has been able to mentor his nephew in the art! Excellent video, well worth my time to watch!

      Yes it has to do with the way the material responds to the grinding process. Splintering into tiny sharp corkscrews which can embed themselves in the lung tissue. Incredibly dangerous. But no reason to be fearful of the beautiful finished products.

    Thank you so much Insider Business and Still Standing team for always providing us such insightful videos on these kinds of artisan crafts that have been gradually fading. This knowledge is so valuable to have and preserve, hopefully they are revived in a cultural renaissance and recognized for their beauty and value. Your work in recording this and spreading awareness is indispensable

    That's a lot of work but the end result speaks for itself. I appreciate the effort and passion put into it but I especially appreciate the artistry. Hopefully it won't be a lost art.

      There are shell artists all over Asia. Thailand isn't the only place where people do this lol. It probably won't go away any time soon.

    This is not my aesthetic at all, but I am profoundly moved at how this artist can take such basic materials and turn them into such stunningly beautiful objects. Best to him.

    As a musical instrument maker, I too use mother of pearl. But what I do is very primitive compared to this high art. Bravo.

    @InsiderBusiness I love your videos, to see ancient crafts still standing is a great treat.
    As you ask for possible ideas: espadrilles making in the Basque country; French traditional perfume making from natural flowers in Grasse and Nice; Falconry (ancient in many countries); hand made embroidery for haute-couture; Processional giants and dragons in Belgium and France: Shrimp fishing on horseback in Oostduinkerke; needle lace-making in Northern France; Tuareg communities of Algeria, Mali and Niger; wedding costume tradition of Tlemcen;...
