Rocks gems from Miles
bio See my bio page for more info. In general I specialize in Alaska rocks that I find myself . The exception is I go to the big Tucson gem show (my mother lives there). I hand select and trade for cool rocks from around the world. Far left bulk cut gems I sell by the weight. Right photo, a dry river bed filled with jasper, quartz etc. 100 miles from the nearest road. Here is a link to answers explaining things like sources pricing grading explanations

Fossil coral slice set 3.8 ounces
$66.00
Fossil ocean coral set 3 ½ x 1 ½ x ¼ inches. Stabilized coral that would be porous calcium, treated to be hard for knife handle material or jewelry. Very unique interesting pattern. Can be worked like a hard wood or soft stone without diamond tools. Somewhat hard but I’d back it when working it even if temporarily. A little heavy like stone so keep that in mind. The advantage of fooling with something new like this is a top finished unique product. Could be cut for cabs in rings pendants etc. For knives could be also end caps guards inlays not just full handle.
