Tortoise shell, often referred to as "tortoiseshell," is made from the hard, outer covering of certain species of turtles, particularly the hawksbill turtle. This natural material is composed primarily of keratin, the same protein found in human hair and nails. Tortoiseshell has been historically used for various decorative items and accessories, although its use is now restricted due to conservation efforts aimed at protecting endangered turtle species.
