You can see the polyps in this broken point.

One of my favorite lithics from the Deep South! Thanks for sharing Nman...

Very cool, is the coral rare compared to other lithics or pretty available as well?

It is fairly common in Florida but extremely rare elsewhere. Much of it is translucent and is very colorful when heat treated.

Wow! That’s really nice! If you send it up to me I’ll make a cabochon for your wife.
