Root coral
Intense orange-red
The root coral originates from the Pacific Ocean and is also sold in Germany under the name sea foam coral. It grows at a depth of 10 to 50 meters, is harvested by divers, and has the appearance of a small tree. Compared to its vast abundance, root coral is harvested only to a small extent and is not protected by conservation laws. Each coral has an individual grain and coloring, making every piece of jewelry a unique item.
