Description from the seller
Magnificent white acropora coral, XXL size, 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
A beautiful specimen of natural white coral. Its dominant white color is enhanced by light brown and ochre hues at the base, testifying to its naturalness and antiquity.
The structure is delicate, branched, and symmetrical, typical of Acropora-type corals.
This type of piece was commonly used as a high-end decorative object or as a curiosity in antique cabinets. Today, it is used by collectors or often for high-end aquariums.
Antique item from a private collection.
Sale in accordance with CITES regulations: this coral is a vintage piece, acquired before 2010 and 1975 and does not come from a recent or wild collection.
Proposed by DTD Shop Design Trend Dazzle, a boutique specializing in curious, rare, and valuable objects.
In coral reefs, white coral plays a crucial role by providing a vital habitat for many marine species. Small fish find a secure shelter among its folds and crevices, while invertebrates cling to its surfaces to protect themselves from predators. This interconnection between different forms of underwater life creates an ecological balance essential to the health of the reefs.
Beyond its ecological importance, white coral enchants divers and snorkeling enthusiasts with its striking beauty. When illuminated by sunlight, its shades of white seem to glow with a pure light, illuminating the seabed and creating breathtaking underwater landscapes. Its pristine appearance contrasts beautifully with the vibrant colors of other corals and tropical fish, creating a scene of great visual richness.
