Jewelry with horn coral

Intense red-orange color, but still not an endangered coral species!

Marco Schreier Mineralienhandlung GmbH offers you jewelry with horn coral at wholesale prices - rings, pendants, necklaces and earrings, set in 925 silver.
The red fossilized horn coral comes from Riley's Canyon near Kamas in Utah and shows intense red-orange colors. Occurrence of the corals was around 300 million years ago - so they are not endangered coral species living today. The former coral reefs now lie high in the mountains of Utah. As the coral is no longer mined, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find cabochons or coral jewelry with beautiful designs.

Jewelry with horn coral in various designs
We offer jewelry with fossilized horn coral: rings with cabochon-cut stones that show the characteristic red-orange colouring and natural pattern, pendants in different sizes and earrings as pendants or studs. All pieces are set in 925 silver, some are also gold-plated or rhodiniert. The settings are designed in such a way that the natural structure of the fossilized coral remains visible. Some pieces clearly show the original coral structure with its characteristic tubular patterns, while others present more uniform areas of color. The combination of horn coral and silver emphasizes the warm, intense colouring of the fossil material.

Geological Occurrence and fossilization
Around 300 million years ago, in the Carboniferous and early Permian periods, these corals grew in shallow, warm seas. Horn corals belonged to the order Rugosa, also known as "wrinkled corals" because of their characteristic external structure. This group of corals died out at the end of the Permian period - around 250 million years ago. As a result of geological processes, the former sea beds were raised and are now part of Utah's mountain landscape. The organic material of the corals was replaced cell by cell by minerals - a fossilization process that took millions of years. The intense red-orange colouring Occurs due to iron oxide deposits during fossilization. Each piece shows different degrees of preservation of the original coral structure.

Special feature: Not a living coral species
An important aspect of horn coral is its geological origin. These Petrified Corals do not originate from today's oceans and do not threaten living coral reefs. They are geological fossils from a time when the earth looked completely different - long before dinosaurs existed. The trade in fossilized horn coral is therefore unproblematic in terms of species protection.

Since mining in Riley's Canyon has been discontinued, specimens with beautiful markings and intense coloration are becoming increasingly rare. This gives horn coral a special status - a material with limited availability and geological significance.
