Coral reefs have been growing in our oceans for almost five hundred million years, with many thriving in warm, shallow waters. However, as land surfaces have moved and oceans have risen and fallen, sections of ancient coral has become buried under sediments. The temperature and pressure from compaction causes these deposits to turn to stone, forming fossilised coral in a process known as petrifaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Victorian, circa 1870\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 3.1cm by 4.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone: Fossilised coral\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarks: None, tested as silver\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Great antique condition with gorgeous patina\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lost Heirloom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50204286681400,"sku":"LO2344","price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/7387\/2952\/files\/victorian-fossilised-coral-brooch-632569.jpg?v=1747776164","url":"https:\/\/lostowl.com\/products\/victorian-fossilised-coral-brooch","provider":"Lost Owl Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
