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

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

- Rarely red (if impurities present)
Agatized coral often has fine flower or starburst patterns, making each piece unique.
