AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
NATURE'S WORK: Monumental Branch of Red Coral from Alghero (97g)
The Essence:
An exclusive lot for elite collectors, consisting of authentic Red Coral from the Mediterranean (Corallium Rubrum). The absolute protagonist is a rare sculptural branch originating from the historic waters of Alghero (Sardinia).
The Collectible Piece (Sovereign Branch of 50g):
• Weight: 50 grams of precious natural pulp.
• Extraordinary Length: About 20 cm, a size now unattainable in historic collections.
• Imposing Thickness: A solid trunk that varies between 10 mm and 13 mm, maintaining an incredible visual impact along its entire length.
• Character: This branch is a historic testimony of the Sardinian seas. Its slender shape and deep red color make it a unique display piece, worthy of a private high-end collection or a natural history gallery.
The Rest of the Lot (47g of History):
• Accompanying the main piece are other selected branches, including a second very dense branch of 18 grams, which complete a harmonious and vibrant chromatic ensemble.
