Fossilized Coral Pair with Quartz and Chalcedony
Add a Matching Display Stand
Pillowy clouds of Quartz and Chalcedony line the interior of this lovely Fossilized Coral pair from Tampa Bay, Florida. The white and light blue-gray botryoidal Chalcedony crystals contrast perfectly with the darker Quartz banding lining this beautiful crystal and fossil combination. Typically, with fossils from this locale, sections of the coral fracture or break away during the cutting and polishing process, making large pairs of this quality rare.
Dated at approximately 20 to 40 million years old, this variety of coral lived during the Eocene to Miocene Period. Empty voids within the coral were naturally replaced with silica-rich mineralization in the form of botryoidal Chalcedony and Quartz. Fossilized coral like this specimen was once part of the ancient coastline of Florida. This fossil was collected pre-1960 in Tampa Bay. The fossil was cut and polished down the center, with the exterior left in its raw and natural state.
