A one-of-a-kind piece of agatized coral from Florida, polished across the face to reveal warm translucent agate banding surrounding a wonderfully irregular interior cavity.

The real highlight is the interior: a small botryoidal “cave” filled with rounded, bubbly formations in soft white, cream, and pale gray. Layers of white and honey-toned agate trace the perimeter, while remnants of the coral structure remain visible along the natural exterior and within the cross section.

Under UV light, portions of the specimen display a cool blue-white fluorescence, adding another dimension to an already unusual piece.

Agatized coral forms when silica-rich groundwater gradually replaces the original coral material, preserving aspects of its structure while transforming it into chalcedony and agate. Each piece develops differently, making the internal patterns and cavities entirely unique.

As a natural fossil and lapidary specimen, this piece contains irregular edges, cavities, pits, fractures, and variations associated with its formation and preparation.
