Agatized Corals

Agatized corals from Florida are fossilized coral specimens that have undergone a unique process of mineral replacement, in which their original calcium carbonate structures have been replaced by agate, a form of chalcedony.
These corals are typically found in the Eocene-age limestone formations in Florida and are estimated to be between 30 and 40 million years old. The agatization process has preserved the intricate details and patterns of the coral structures, resulting in stunning, colorful specimens that are highly sought after by collectors and jewelry makers. Due to their rarity and age, agatized corals from Florida are considered to be valuable and unique pieces of natural history.
