The pinks, reds oranges and yellows are likely heat treated.
Multiple species. Florida/Georgia seems limited to 4 to 5 species.
Indo supplier

Those beat the old Michigan state stone in the looks department by about tenfold. Sheesh. Those are really sweet.

There is an American trade group that has members from all over the world on Facebook that trade coral.
The Indonesians have a large population of jewelers and are active on this FB site.
Above corals are from a man in Indonesia.
The Indo gems don't stop at coral. Unique stone in that country.

I am considering some agatized Moroccan pine cones to tumble.
Do you have any idea what a good price is ?
They are about the size of two joints of a finger to thumb size.
Min order 1000 cones/$120

There are many more different patterns. Must have been diverse coral reefs around Indonesia back in the day.
A place I wish I could rock hound some day or had in younger days lol.
Long way to go. In the world's present condition it may be best to stay closer to home.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
