Description from the seller


The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.

Lot of Mediterranean Red Coral and Venetian Fossil Stones – 75 g

Fascinating ensemble composed of authentic Mediterranean red coral (Corallium rubrum) and unique natural stones, collected in the Venice area.

The lot includes:
• Fragments and sprigs of Mediterranean red coral, both polished and rough, with an intense and vibrant colour, a symbol of protection and good luck.
• Six natural stones with characteristic holes and cavities, reminiscent of ancient fossilized sea sponges or fossilized corals. These pebbles come directly from the Venice lagoon, a city with thousands of years of history: stones that have seen the passage of centuries, smoothed by water and time, true natural relics that can be considered small pieces of the city itself.

The total weight is 75 grams.

A lot that combines the timeless allure of Mediterranean coral with the historical and geological appeal of Venetian stones: a meeting of nature, sea, and history. Ideal for collectors, mineralogy and artisanal jewelry enthusiasts, or as a unique gift with symbolic value.
