EXtreme RARE!!! Fossil Red Coral - Lophophyllidium Pennsylvanian AGE (300 million years) - Height: 30 mm - Width: 25 mm- 13 g
This is a beautiful section of Pennsylvania agatized red horn coral (~300 million years old) from Utah. One end of the section has been polished to reveal the stunning internal structure.
Ancient coral reefs now lie thousands of feet up in the mountains of Utah. As these corals fossilized, the original organic material was replaced by silica and other minerals that produced the bright coloration. This horn coral is no longer actively mined, so it is becoming increasingly difficult to acquire.
