Coral is a natural biological formation that grows in deep water over time with interesting structures and color. Coral is not harvested fresh for jewelry but a fossil that is no longer alive and can be up to 20 million years old. Being an organic stone, it is not very hard or durable. Which means it is suited for jewelry that can provide it protection such as a pendant. 

Coral fossil is found all over the world, although the more substantial sources are from Morocco, Indonesia, Australia, Japan and Taiwan. The colors can range from pastel ivory tones to dark brown, white and black. The patterns are very interesting and can be small to large shapes with skeletal flower formations.
