Description from the seller

Description of the Lot
In auction an important lot of 1,600 grams (1.6 kg) of natural red coral (Corallium rubrum), sourced from artisanal processing residues of the Mediterranean (Sardinia/Torre del Greco).
• Type: Raw fragments ("Frantuma" or Chips).
• Total Weight: 1.6 kg.
• Color: Natural bright red, intense scarlet. Unheated, not dyed.
• Conditions: Raw material, opaque as from extraction/work, ready to be drilled, or used for inlays and high-end "chip" jewelry.
• Piece size: Mixed (from small twigs to flakes), ideal for multi-cut work or restoration of antique pieces.
The lot was selected for color uniformity and the absence of significant calcareous impurities. A rare opportunity for laboratories and jewelry designers to acquire a substantial quantity of precious organic material.
