Ultra RARE Vintage Ivory Peach Stylaster Coral- 3.5"x1.25"x0.75"
Beautiful selection of Vintage Peach Stylaster. These corals can be found growing off of the coasts of the Aleutian Islands of Alaska and other nearby areas. The Alaskan Stylaster is a slow growing, deep water coral rarely seen alive by humans. The coral fragments were originally carved, filed, and polished by natives for jewelry and other ornamental art. They are very sought after by collectors. Do not let the small size of these prized corals fool you- these corals are very difficult to find in pieces larger than 3-4" & typically do not grow larger than 12". We were lucky to acquire a large collection of this coral & stock is VERY LIMITED.
Scientific Name: Errinoopora fisheri or Errinopora nannaca (Previously known as Hydrozoa Athecata)

Decorating with Sea Shells and Vintage and/or coral is a very HOT Designer Trend. Coastal Styles never go out of season, and even if you don't live by the shoreline- you can display simple small elements of its beauty in any home style. I'm amazed at the amounts of beautiful sea life featured in top decorating magazines, even if it's not a Coastal Trend magazine, most photos contain some type of sea life feature in each photo! From a large shell on a shelf, to an entire room filled with the sea treasures!
We hope you display this coral with pride, coral is a precious resource, and now being treated like costly gems. We DO NOT support, nor sell, any New Specimens. WE ONLY SELL VINTAGE CORAL, and hope you'll only buy the same.
