CORAL FOSSIL STONE 

These tumbled coral fossil stones are various shades of pink, tan, brown and white.  They are sorted.  See the pictures for details.  They look great in a bowl, for art projects, or as a base to set other stones or objects on, as well as being interesting in their own right as fossilized inhabitants of the sea many eons ago.    Fossil coral is a natural gemstone that is created when prehistoric coral is gradually replaced with agate.   These stones are from ancient fossilized coral beds and the original animals have been replaced with agate.  Fossil coral should not be mistaken for endangered or protected reef coral or precious coral. Fossil coral is also much harder than precious coral. Most agatized fossil coral exhibits a dull to waxy luster and interesting skeletal-like ancient coral patterns, most often appearing in flower shapes.
