Precious coral is a species of coral that grows in rocky seabottoms, typically in dark environments either in the depths or in dark caverns. The coral skeleton is composed of hard calcium carbonate, colored by carotenoid pigments. Coral exhibits a range of warm reddish pink colors ranging from salmon pink to deep red; the word coral is also used to name such colors. Owing to its intense and permanent coloration and luster, precious coral skeletons have been harvested since antiquity for decorative use. Coral jewelry has been found in ancient Egyptian and prehistoric European burials. Most precious coral is harvested in the Mediterranean Sea, especially in Sardinia. Deposits are also found in the Pacific, in Japan, Taiwan and Australia.

I was very happy to receive the atone that was the one in the picture. I ordered another a d also received the exact one I saw. Very happy.
I love this website. I have been browsing for years and now can utilise the stones in jewellery. Sooo many stones and so little spare time to make them into beautiful things
I was pleased with the amount of information they offered along with the accuracy of such information. Navigating their website was effortless as well. Although, I wish they had a wider variety in a particular gemstone, I was satisfied overall.
Easiest website to find what I’m looking for as a starter gem collector. Many years in precious metals I decided to expand my interest. This website makes it easy to search exactly what I’m looking for with great description of what I’m purchasing.
