$149.00

A striking natural coral specimen with sculptural upright formations and unusual blue-gray coloration. Areas where its delicate formations have naturally broken away reveal the beautiful deeper blue skeleton beneath, adding remarkable contrast and character. Secured from a private collection, this specimen remains permanently mounted to its original clear acrylic base, which may show minimal surface wear upon close inspection. 7.5”L x 7.5”W x 8”H Species: Heliopora coerulea Commonly known as Blue Coral, Heliopora coerulea is remarkable for its naturally blue skeleton, a rare coloration created by iron salts within the coral’s aragonite structure. Its colonies can develop distinctive upright plates, columns, or branches, giving specimens like this one their unusual architectural form.
