Product Description:
Add ancient, organic beauty with a smooth, sculptural touch to your jewelry designs with our Yellow Fossil Coral Through-drilled Smooth Freeform Nugget Beads Strands. These unique beads feature natural fossil coral – an ancient gemstone formed from the remains of marine organisms that lived in warm, shallow seas over 20 million years ago. Over time, the original calcium carbonate skeleton was gradually replaced by silica, creating a stunning agatized gemstone with remarkable hardness and polishability. The freeform nugget shape offers a natural, organic silhouette that celebrates each stone's ancient origins and unique character, while the smooth polished finish enhances its warm yellow to golden, butterscotch, and creamy tones, often with subtle natural veining, honeycomb textures, or intricate floral-like patterns.
Fossil coral, sometimes called "agatized coral," is prized for its distinctive organic patterns and warm, earthy coloration. The natural stone is carefully shaped into freeform nugget beads – a distinctive, organic silhouette – then polished to a high-gloss finish that enhances its natural patterns and luster. The beads range from approximately 10-14mm in width and 12-20mm in length, offering a dynamic, organic look perfect for statement pieces. Each strand is through-drilled and measures approximately 38cm (15 inches) in length, strung and knotted for safe shipping.
