Wow! Those are all awesome! I love the Indonesian fossil coral and have quite a bit of it. One of these days, I'm going to have to make myself chop up my slabs but I haven't been able to yet. I especially like the pattern in pic#6. I Don't have any with that pattern. I also really like #1 as it's cool to see the more natural color without the usual heat treating.....Mel

Those corals are amazing and so beautifully defined. That bean shaped one is my favorite. I love how the pink color permeates two of the coral and the space inbetween the middle one without touching it.

Coral is one of my very favorite materials to work with. I really like Number 6 the best of all!

Simply beautiful! I had to show a coworker this thread because she didn't know what I was talking about. She is in love with this stuff now and we both think you do a great job on this coral! I think my favorite is #6. Reminds me of a beautiful patchwork quilt! Fran

Man those are fantastic! I love fossil coral and that is some nice material. You did a bang up job on the cabs. I'm partial to the square one. Now you put me in the mood to dig mine out and cab some.

Wow, those are some great patterns in those corals, I was picking a fav, but I like each one, I guess 6 wins overall! That is a fav of mine too, so much variety and I love the perfect flower shapes in them. Amber
