The fundamentally diverse vertebrate pigment cells, melanophores, xanthophores, and iridophores, contain pigmentary organelles known, respectively, as melanosomes, pterinosomes and reflecting platelets. Their pigments are melanins, pteridines and purines. Mosaic pigment cells containing more than 1 type of organelle have been observed and mosaic organelles containing more than 1 type of pigment have been discovered. The various pigment cells may be derived from a stem cell that contains a primordial organelle of endoplasmic reticular origin. This primordial organelle can differentiate into any of the known pigmentary organelles.
