Fossil coral, also known as flower jasper or agatized fossil coral is ancient tropical marine coral that died hundreds of millions of years ago. Corals are tiny animals that when living, secrete and build an external skeleton like a little cup with small supporting rays and collumns within. This skeleton, which is quite porous and soft in life, is over the ages replaced by harder minerals like silica quartz and turned to hard stone. The Fossil Coral stones retain the characteristics of the original replaced coral skeleton. How cool is that?

Fossil corals are found in many places around the world, some quite distant from current tropical or subtropical environments. Michigan's famous Petoskey stones are one type of fossilized corals. Some fossil corals are quite brightly colored in gold and orange due to other minerals that were present in the surrounding environment. Indonesian fossil corals are renowned for large flower patterns and the golden orange color.
