Coral Fossil/Jade

Coral Fossil also called Fossil Coral or Agatized Coral is not actual coral anymore it's ancient coral that has turned into stone through fossilization over millions of years.

Here’s a clear and complete explanation:

What Is Coral Fossil?

Coral fossil forms when prehistoric coral skeletons become replaced by minerals such as:

  • Chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz)
  • Agate
  • Calcite

This process preserves the shape and pattern of the original coral, creating beautiful stone with flower-like or honeycomb patterns.

Color

Coral fossil comes in many natural colors:

  • Beige
  • Cream
  • Brown
  • Gray
  • Yellow
  • Orange
  • Pinkish tones
  • Rarely red (if impurities present)

Agatized coral often has fine flower or starburst patterns, making each piece unique.
