These are some natural coral branches I thought you might like to see. Here are some specimens of the natural coral before it has been made into various shaped beads. On top natural black coral and in the middle a couple of small natural sea bamboo coral segments. The bottom is actually black coral turned into gold coral through a special secret treatment, not dyed. This is what our gold coral looks like before it becomes a bead.

Blue sponge coral 10mm
This is natural blue sponge coral in a round bead, measuring about 10mm in diameter and have about a .75mm hole. These beads are polished only-no dye but have been stabilized to remove the natural pits-though because of the type of coral it is, it doesn't really take a high polish. This type of coral is naturally full of voids. the stabilization smoothes out the natural pits. (that's why they call it sponge coral) The color is sort of that of a denim lapis, though these are much lighter in weight than any stone beads. This is beautiful natural material, and the beads are sold per 16" strand.
