21.66 Ct. Coral from Australia

One piece, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, is a substantial, opaque orange coral weighing 21.66 carats, offered in a freeform shape with overall dimensions of 28.94 x 20.27 x 6.95 mm. The piece carries a medium light color intensity, exhibiting a warm orange tone that is consistent across most of the surface, and it benefits from an excellent polish that enhances the stone surface and lends a softly reflective finish. No faceted cut was applied, as the piece is formed and finished in a freeform manner to retain the natural character and material, and there have been no enhancements performed, the material remaining untreated from its Australian origin. These objective measurements and condition notes reflect the primary attributes that are useful for planning a mounting, appraisal, or design concept, and the clear statement of origin from Australia is provided to support provenance and sourcing documentation.

Visually the coral presents as a carved freeform, shaped with deliberate contours that read as a small stylized figure, and the carving maintains enough material thickness to allow secure setting options without compromising the silhouette. The excellent polish emphasizes the surface contours and carved details, while the opaque body of the coral offers a consistent, even visual mass that works well as a centerpiece in pendants or brooches, or as a focal cabochon style element in custom jewelry. Given the dimensions and weight, the piece will sit comfortably as the central element of a mid to large scale pendant, or alternatively may be mounted into a frame setting for a gallery piece, and the freeform outline allows for creative bezel, prong, or partial bezel settings while preserving the carved detail. The natural color and lack of enhancements make this coral suitable for collectors and designers who prioritize untreated material, and the Australian source complements a design narrative that values defined provenance and responsibly sourced natural gemstones.

Practical considerations for handling, setting, and care of this coral are straightforward, and understanding the material characteristics will ensure long term preservation of appearance. Coral is a relatively soft organic gem, requiring protection from abrasive contact and from exposure to acids, cosmetics, perfumes, and household chemicals, and the piece should not be exposed to prolonged high heat or steam cleaning as these conditions can alter the color or surface. Cleaning is best performed with a soft, slightly damp cloth using plain water or a small amount of mild, non alkaline soap, followed by immediate drying with a soft cloth, and ultrasonic cleaners and steam cleaning are not recommended. For storage, keep the coral piece separate from harder gemstones and metals to avoid scratches, store in a soft pouch or compartmentalized box, and avoid extended direct sunlight to minimize any potential for gradual color change. The Natural Gemstone Company provides this full specification and care guidance to support informed purchasing and design decisions, and the combination of the 21.66 carat weight, 28.94 x 20.27 x 6.95 mm dimensions, medium light orange color, excellent polish, no enhancements, and Australian origin defines the technical profile of this distinctive freeform coral.
