Fossil Coral- 6mm Rounds

Fossil Coral (also known as Fossil Jasper) is the prehistoric fossilized remains of the invertebrate reef builders that live in tropical oceans. Silica-rich waters create hardened deposits that preserve coral skeletons, resulting in fossils that are chalk-white, tan, gray, and brown as well as pink, red and yellow-orange.  Harvesting fossilized coral does not directly endanger the ocean in the same way as harvesting live coral. Fossilized coral, being dead and no longer part of the living ecosystem, does not face the same risks as living corals, such as damage to their structure, bleaching, or reduced reproductive capability.
