When a polished and etched sample of iron is viewed at low magnification, it can have a mother-of-pearl like appearance. This description has been contracted into the term, pearlite, as the name for the common constituent in iron and steel that has this appearance.(Gary and Ductile, Iron Castings Handbook, Cleveland, Iron Founder’s Society, Inc., 1971, p. 102)  1, record 4, English, - pearlite
