2.43 Ct. Coral from Australia

In the heart of the vast oceanic expanse surrounding Australia, we find the birthplace of our extraordinary coral gemstone. This coral's journey begins beneath the waves where marine life flourishes in vibrant displays spanning the spectrum of nature's colors. Among these myriad hues emerges an orange coral whose warm tones whisper tales of sunsets melting into the sea's horizon. Here, in this cradle of natural wonder, the coral develops over years amidst spectral garden reefs resplendent with life. The treasure that emerges is the perfect symbol of the bold yet serene landscapes of its Australian home.

The 2.43 carat opaque coral, carved into various shapes with dimensions of 9.56 x 9.03 x 4.70 mm, proudly bears the mark of its oceanic origins. When shaped into its floral cut, its essence speaks to the untamed beauty nurtured by the waves. This intimate connection to nature and craftsmanship underscores a dedication to excellence embodied by The Natural Gemstone Company. With each coral cut and polished to an exceptional radiance, we take pride in offering not just a gemstone but a story crafted with dedication, care, and precision.

This orange coral's deep color intensity is particularly enchanting. It evokes the splendid displays of fire opals from Mexico, famous for their brilliant reds and oranges. Yet, where the opals mirror the fiery heart of a volcano, our coral captures the gentle glow of a sun descending beneath the ocean. Its unique hue is less reminiscent of the Tanzanian spessartite garnets or the vivid oranges of Brazilian citrines, and more aligned with the natural and soothing spectrum inspired by coral reefs. Each facet of this meticulous floral carving reflects the mastery of artisans who hold the privilege of translating nature's artistry into tangible form.

As it graces the hand, the coral tells a silent story of time. It remembers the experience of oceanic life and the transformative power of human touch through carving and polishing processes unique to The Natural Gemstone Company. Inside its opaque embrace hides the memory of aquatic gardens and an array of life forms sustaining its growth, blending past and present in an unbreakable continuum. While diamonds from the unyielding depths of Botswana's mines or emeralds cut from Colombia's verdant hills convey the Earth's history written into stone, this coral recounts an epic closer to life's aquatic origins.

The coral's journey doesn't end with its emergence from the sea. Once sourced, artisans sink into their work driven by a desire to uncover the potential hidden within each rough piece. Each carve into a floral motif is a step in a dialogue with nature where the artisan honors the coral’s origin. The remarkable polish of this piece results in a glossy sheen reflecting the skylines it once witnessed. Just as rubies from Myanmar are revered for their purity and sapphires from Sri Lanka for their radiant blues, our coral adds its own vibrant chapter. When holding this coral, customers are invited to feel the resonance of history connecting them to artisans long devoted to the reverence of Earth's offerings.
