Fossil coral is a natural gemstone created when prehistoric coral is replaced with agate. Corals are marine animals and their skeletons are fossilized and preserved. It forms through hardened deposits left by silica-rich waters. The entire process can take over 20 million years.
The proper name for fossil coral is agatized coral or agatized fossil coral. Agate, with its silicon dioxide composition is a variety of naturally occurring chalcedony, or microcrystalline quartz, rather than a type of coral. For this reason, fossil coral should not be mistaken for endangered or protected reef coral. Fossil coral is also much harder than precious coral. Most agatized fossil coral exhibits a dull to waxy luster and interesting skeletal-like ancient coral patterns, most often appearing in flower shapes.
