How to work with this crystal
-
Fossil Coral, often sold as agatized or silicified coral, forms when ancient coral skeletons are slowly replaced by chalcedony over millions of years.
-
Polished slices reveal delicate flower-like patterns where each coral polyp once lived, preserved in shades of cream, brown, grey and soft orange.
-
With quartz-level hardness, these stones are suitable for cabochons, beads and decorative objects. In crystal symbolism, fossil coral is associated with deep time perspective, memory and connection with Earth's long story.
-
People may work with it when reflecting on ancestry, cycles of change or the idea that individual lives are part of a much larger, ongoing ecosystem.
Care & Handling ›
-
Keep each piece in its own soft pouch or box compartment so chains and stones do not rub or tangle.
-
Avoid keeping jewelry in bathrooms or other humid spots; store in a dry, cool place away from direct heat.
-
After each wear, gently wipe jewelry with a soft, dry cloth before putting it back into storage.
-
Take jewelry off for sports, workouts, heavy lifting and housework to avoid dents, chips and deformation.

Keep organic gems away from acidic products and alcohol (perfume, skincare); do not soak or use ultrasonic cleaners and store separately after wiping.
