A striking 3.2" Florida agatized coral specimen featuring bold black, blue-gray, and white agate surrounding a beautiful botryoidal interior.

The polished face reveals layers of fine white banding framing a dark ribbon of nearly black agate, with subtle blue tones appearing throughout. At the center, an open cavity is filled with rounded white to pale baby-blue botryoidal chalcedony, creating a soft, cloud-like texture against the sharply defined agate bands.

The specimen retains its natural, unpolished exterior, creating a dramatic contrast with the polished face and preserving evidence of the original coral structure.

Under UV light, the specimen fluoresces in cool blue-white tones, bringing out additional banding and internal details that are much subtler under ordinary light.

Agatized coral forms when silica-rich groundwater gradually replaces the original coral material, preserving portions of its structure in chalcedony and agate. Open spaces within the original material can provide room for later silica growth, producing formations such as the botryoidal chalcedony displayed prominently in this specimen.

Natural pits, cavities, fractures, irregular edges, and other features are inherent to the specimen.
