3.8" Gorgeous, Polished Fossil Coral Sphere - Indonesia

This is a stunning 3.8" wide polished sphere of fossil coral from Sumatra, Indonesia. The polishing allows the beautiful fossilized structure of the coral to easily be seen.

These corals are approximately 20 million years old and are the remains of ancient reefs. Tectonic action has thrust them up forming mountains. As these corals fossilized the original organic material was replaced by silica, iron, manganese and other minerals.

An acrylic ring display stand will accompany your purchase. A section of the rock matrix left a gap on one side of the sphere. Can be seen in the second picture.
