How is fossil coral formed?
Fossil coral is also called petrified coral. It comes from a mineral transformation of prehistoric corals over the millennia. Corals, marine organisms living in colonies of polyps, produce a calcareous skeleton, more or less large and branched. When the corals die, their skeletons are deposited on the ocean floor and are gradually covered with sediment. Under the effect of geological pressures and time, the calcium in the skeletons is transformed into minerals. This process, called petrification, takes place over millions of years. The minerals replace the organic tissues, thus preserving the structure of the coral in mineral form. The colors and patterns of this stone depend on the minerals present in the corals' environment at the time of petrification.
Virtues of fossil coral
925 silver, the material of your fossil coral ring
The silver used to make the jewelry can not be pure 100%, because it would be too soft. In order to work it is added one or more alloy metals, most of the time copper.
Silver jewelry, in Europe and in most countries of the world, is 925 silver. It is 1st grade silver, it has a minimum content of 92,5%. This is also called sterling silver, from the English Sterling Silver 925. Sterling silver, for example, is made up of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Sterling silver has been a category of silver for jewelry in many countries since the 14th century.
