1.80 Ct. Coral from Australia

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we pride ourselves on sourcing only the finest and most exquisite gemstones, each with a story as timeless as the Earth itself. Our 1.80 carat freeform orange coral is a splendid embodiment of natural history and art. Formed millions of years ago in the warm, pristine waters surrounding Australia, this coral's journey from marine ecosystem to treasured gemstone is as fascinating as it is beautiful. The unique freeform shape measures 9.58 x 9.51 x 3.51 mm, its natural contours reflecting the organic growth process characteristic of these marine formations.

In an era when unenhanced gemstones are increasingly rare, this coral stands out for its authenticity and purity. With no enhancements, the coral retains a medium intense color intensity that speaks to its natural origins and underwater heritage. The crab’s vivid hue is the result of sediment and mineral deposits deciding to play the role of nature’s artisans, creating a masterpiece one molecular layer at a time. Its rich, vibrant orange tones arise without artificial augmentation, a true testament to its organic creation.

Craftsmanship techniques masterfully emphasize the coral’s surface, as evidenced by the excellent polish that caresses the stone's exterior. Though the coral has a n/a cut, this uncut status complements its beautifully unchecked freeform shape. The exceptionally smooth polish brings out the subtle interplay of light and shadow across the coral’s surface, highlighting its exquisite texture and offering a tactile delight reminiscent of the marine environment where it originated. Such attention to detail ensures that the essence of the coral's natural beauty is never compromised.

Australia, home to this coral, is renowned for its diverse and plentiful seabeds. Here, coral grows slowly and methodically, shaped over ages by the unique conditions of the ocean. Over eons, as the coral matures, its surfaces develop nuances and textures that mimic the sea’s eternal rhythms. The Natural Gemstone Company values the sustainable and ethical sourcing of gemstones, ensuring that our offerings not only capture nature's beauty, but also protect the ecosystems that fostered them.

With this piece of orange coral, you're not only acquiring a gemstone but also a fragment of Earth's enduring history. At The Natural Gemstone Company, our commitment is to our clients and the collective narrative of our planet, crafted with precision and an appreciation for the intricate details. This gemstone stands as a symbol of authenticity, craftsmanship, and timeless natural beauty. Owning this coral means connecting with a powerful element of Earth's aquatic history, a moment frozen in time, perfectly encapsulated by nature's finest design.
