Red Coral Branches
$32.13
A set of 5 small polished branches of all-natural (not dyed) red coral from the Mediterranean Sea, harvested sustainably in very small quantities and quite rare. This is a sub-fossil, meaning partially fossilized, as it has maintained some of its original organic structure over thousands of years, rather than having been completely mineralized into a fossil.
Each approx 1 – 1 5/8″ H x 1/8 – 3/16″ D (at widest end)
Two of them are drilled (the shortest and the longest)
Total weight approx: 4.59 grams

Coral Coral is the hard mineralized skeleton of tiny marine animals, composed primarily of calcium carbonate. Red coral from the Mediterranean has traditionally been prized as a gemstone. Now endangered due to overharvesting, nearly all our red coral in jewelry is neutral-colored coral that has been dyed red. Fossil coral refers to prehistoric coral fossilized through replacement with agate, often leaving flower-like patterns in the stone. Fine fossil coral is found in Florida and Indonesia. Metaphysically, coral helps with emotional healing. |
