trim inside the 2007 c230 loaner car

I dropped my car off at mercedes yesterday to top off the oil and check for a fault that occured on the freeway a couple of days ago. They said they couldnt get to it before the new year and gave me a loaner. This time its the 07 c230 4dr sport. I gotta tell you, this car is pretty dope. It has a rear spoiler, amg exhaust, slotted rotors like the rest of the sports, but what I keep thinking about is the trim on the inside. At first glance it looks like wood grain, but I dont think it is. It looks like peacock feathers under glass or something. Its grey with some silver, and some blues. Anybody know what this trim is made out of? Anything exotic? Im just curious, if anybody else has seen it, im sure they know what Im talking about. I cant stop looking at it.
