NATURAL HAWAIIAN GOLD Coral 金珊瑚 ROUGH Cuttable MATERIAL FREE BLACK CORAL CABOCHN

Description: About Deepsea Hawaiian GOLD Coral : GOLD CORAL- THIS IS THE RAREST DEEP SEA CORAL FROM THE HAWAIIAN SEA. IT SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH THE MUCH MORE COMMON SHALLOW WATER BLACK CORAL WHICH ALSO RECOVERED FROM MANY COASTAL PARTS OF THE WORLD. GOLD CORAL IS A DEEP SEA SPECIES OF CORAL HARVESTED FROM MUCH DEPTH OF DEEP OCEAN FROM 1200FT UP TO 1600 FT. IT WAS DISCOVERED & HARVESTED EXCLUSIVELY BY MAUI DIVERS IN THE EARLY 70S WITH A MINI 2 MEN SUBMERSIBLE. FOR SOME REASONS THE HARVEST WAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN DUE TO AN ACCIDENT. SOME LIMITED MATERIALS WAS MADE INTO A LINE OF FINE JEWELRY FOR A FEW YEARS THEN IT RAN OUT GOLD CORAL IS NATURALLY GOLDEN and BROWN in BODY COLOR. BUT WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE IS IT HAS IRIDESCENT, CHATOYANCE SHEEN ( TIGER EYE OR CAT'S EYE EFFECT) AND MUCH HARDER AND DENSER THAN BLACK CORAL. IT CAN BE CARVED OR CUT INTO JEWELRY BEFITTING CABOCHONS OR ART OBJECTS. ACTUALLY, I CARVED SOME HAWAIIAN TIKIS USING GOLD CORAL A FEW YEARS AGO.SPECIMENS LIKE THESE CAN SIMPLY BE CLOLLECTED AS IS OR WORKED INTO ART/JEWELRY PIECES, CUT, INLAY OR JUST DRILL A HOLEAND WEAR THEM. THESE ARE SEMI POLISHED WITHOUT REMOVING MUCH OF THE MATERIALS. THEY HAVE BEEEN LAQUERED AND WAED FOR DURABILITY....THIS LOT CONSISTS 5 PCS OF BOTH LIGHT AND DARK TONE GOLD CORAL. AGAIN 100% NATURAL. THIS IS 100% NATURAL, AUTHENTIC, GENUINE HAWAIIAN GOLD CORAL NOT BLACK CORAL OR BLEACHED BLACK SEAFAN CORAL( SEA WHIP) MADE TO RESEMBLE GOLD CORAL. TOTAL WEIGHT IS 24.6 grams or 80 carats which would yield you several large cut cabochons. Hawaiian gold coral (Kulamanama haumeae) is a rare, extremely long-lived deep-sea coral found on sea bed in Hawaii channel. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Kulamanama. One colony has been dated as 2,740 years old, while others are considered 5,000 years old. Each coral gemstone color & depth has its own distinct quality. Gold coral is prized in jewelry making for its irisdescency or Chatoyance qualities which are similar to gemstone - CAT'S eye. The skeletons of such corals and the products made from them are highly valuable. However, unprocessed skeleton material is now EXTREMELY rare as it has not been commercially harvested in Hawaii for decades. International trade therefore primarily consists of jewelry made from pre-moratorium stock, which IS decades old. From Hawaii: Pink OR ANGELSKIN CORAL is delicate and is said to bring good health. It was harvested in great depth in the East seamounts closed to where Gold coral was found.Black Coral is exotic and dramatic and has long been considered to guard against misfortune. ACCORDING TO MAUI DIVERS OF HAWAII : GOLD CORAL WITH ITS INNER LIGHT AND IRISDECENCE( CHATOYANCY) SIMILAR TO TIGGER'S EYE IS CONSIDERED THE RAREST OF ALL PRECIOUS CORALS. THIS LOT IS FROM THE 1980'S STOCK. THE PIECES ARE ALL NATURAL HAWAIIAN PRECIOUS DEEPSEA GOLD CORAL LOG WHICH HAS NOT BEEN SEEN IN THE JEWELRY TRADE FROM EARLY 1980'S. THESE PIECE HAS GOOD CHATOYANCY AS SEEN IN HAWAII GOLD CORAL (MEDIUM TO DARKER BROWN NOT SAND COLOR LIKE OTHERS). WITH THIS SAYING I HOPE IT WILL BRING THE WEARER GOOD LUCK AND PEACE IN LIFE !
