Coral Stone | Agatized Coral | Fossil Coral

Coral stones, also known as Fossil Coral, are the mineralized skeletons of Coral formations from millions of years ago. Mostly comprised of calcium carbonate, Coral fossils can be found in a wide variety of natural earthy tones, but are often dyed to take on fantastical shades of pink, blue, purple, or orange. The fibrous structure of the Coral polyps can sometimes be seen on polished specimens, making them even more highly prized. A Coral skeleton whose structure has been replaced by Agate or Chalcedony is referred to by the name Agatized Coral, and may exhibit bubbly growths that lend structure and strength to the Coral. 

All forms of Coral stone, whether Agatized Coral or Fossil Coral, are naturally associated with the Water element. Resonating from the Root Chakra all the way up to the Heart Chakra, Fossil Coral promotes stability and structure, tempered by compassion and understanding. As gems of the ocean, Coral formations offer us a wealth of emotional healing, renewal, and wisdom, encouraging us to remain flexible in the face of change and resilient despite upheaval. Coral is a remarkable crystal for drawing inspiration, joy, and restoration to those who work with it, which is why Coral jewelry is thought to magnetize blessings to the wearer. Agatized Coral is also known as a stone for repairing relationships (whether romantic, platonic, familial, or with the self) since it is believed to open the mind for mature problem solving and reconciliation, allowing us to resolve conflicts and frustrations while maintaining our personal boundaries.
