Products - Coral Coral - Known as coral to the local people of the Colombian Caribbean coast where it is gathered from; it is more widely recognised as petrified wood - the branches of plants that have grown on the sea bed for thousands of years. The best time to find it is when the rainy season begins. If you know where to look, after a strong tropical storm, it is possible to find branches of varying ages and sizes that have been washed up naturally by stormy seas. To the untrained eye it is tricky to spot as it camouflages well with sea weed and could easily be dismissed as a tangle of weed, branches and storm carnage. Whilst wet it is usually dark brown or black in colour, but occasionally purple and white and even pink coloured branches are found. However once it has been dried out (which usually takes about a week in the sun) and sanded down it is always black or dark brown with a yellowy golden grain. It needs to be sanded down very thoroughly with varying grades of sand paper before it is ready to be added to our designs, and then also polished and waxed to a fine shine. Due to the many different shapes and sizes of branches - there are endless design possibilities. Please check out some of our coral designs in the products pages.
