Delicate, charming, beautiful… Words that describe this Fossil Coral Choker. Fossil Coral is an astonishing creation of nature that displays ornate and textured flower or fern-like patterns, but should not be mistaken for the protected and endangered coral reefs from today's modern oceans. Each stone in this necklace is unique, showing soft shades of amber, taupe, creamy beiges and soft gray. Accent beads include beautifully “beaded” Bali Beads and Spacers. Sold separately are three earring styles with stones carefully chosen to match the necklace.
Natural Fossil Coral contains fossilized remnants of ancient coral reefs, with no artificial enhancements. The striking patterns are determined by the particular species of coral that became fossilized.This lovely stone is formed when the original ancient coral is gradually replaced with a solution of one or more minerals, such as silica, iron or manganese. The solution hardens into agate (a crystalline quartz), which is why the proper name of the stone is "Agatized Coral" or "Agatized Fossil Coral."The hardened agate maintains the contrast between the original soft tissues and the skeletal remains of the coral. Depending on the assortment of minerals, Fossil Coral can exhibit a wide range of natural colors, including white to gray, creamy beige, red and reddish brown, orange, yellow, purple and pink. This beautiful coral can be found all over the world—anywhere that an ancient ocean existed! We love the neutral creamy beige and orange colored stones shown here, because the colors go with everything - and can be easily worn during any season.

- Round focal is 0.75-inch inches in diameter.
- Ten 1/2 x 3/8-inch oval stones, and ten 1/2 x 3/8-inch rectangular stones alternate.
