Fossilized Coral from Sumatra, Indonesia displaying intricate floral-like patterns created by the ancient skeletal structures of prehistoric coral colonies. Over millions of years, these corals were replaced by silica-rich minerals, preserving their original geometry in remarkable detail. The warm earthy tones and radiating starburst formations make this material both scientifically fascinating and visually unique.
Indonesian Fossil Coral is prized for its hardness and polish, which allow lapidaries to bring out the crisp cellular detail of each fossil. The geometric cut of this piece highlights those natural patterns while giving it a contemporary aesthetic. Each coral cabochon is a snapshot of ancient marine life—transformed by geology into an enduring gem of natural history
