Description from the seller
MAGNIFICENT XXL WHITE ACROPORA CORAL, in perfect condition! VERY RARE!
Large natural white Acropora coral – 1.46 kg – Old collection (before 1974)!
Very rare as it comes from a private collection formed in the 1960s!
Natural white coral – Beautiful decorative piece – Height approx. 25 cm
Very handsome specimen of natural white coral. Its dominant white color is enhanced by light brown and ocher tints at the base, testifying to its naturalness and age.
The structure is delicate, branched and symmetrical, typical of Acropora-type corals.
This kind of piece was commonly used as a high-end decorative object or as a curiosity in old cabinets. Today it serves collectors or often high-end aquariums.
Old piece from a private collection.
Sale in compliance with CITES regulations: this coral is a piece from the past, acquired before 2010 and 1975 and does not come from recent or wild harvesting.
Offered by DTD Shop Design Trend Dazzle, a boutique specializing in curious, rare, and precious objects.
In coral reefs, white coral plays a crucial role by providing a vital habitat for many marine species. Small fish find secure shelter among its folds and crevices, while invertebrates cling to its surfaces to protect themselves from predators. This interconnection between different forms of marine life creates an ecological balance essential to the health of reefs.
Beyond its ecological importance, white coral enchants divers and snorkeling enthusiasts with its striking beauty. When illuminated by sunlight, its white hues seem to glow with a light of their own, brightening the seabed and creating breathtaking underwater landscapes. Its immaculate appearance contrasts beautifully with the vibrant colors of other corals and tropical fish, creating a scene of great visual richness.
