Blue Coral

- natural, flatback cabochons 

Blue Coral, also known as fossil coral, is a naturally occurring calcium carbonate formed from ancient coral structures that have mineralized over time, preserving their distinctive porous patterns and organic texture. Despite its name, blue coral is not naturally blue in origin; its soft blue-gray to aqua tones come from trace minerals absorbed during fossilization, not from pigment or dye. Physically, it is lightweight, porous, and matte in finish, giving it an unmistakably natural, ocean-worn appearance. Energetically, blue coral is associated with calm, communication, and emotional balance, often linked to soothing the mind, easing stress, and encouraging gentle self-expression—much like the steady, grounding rhythm of the sea itself.
