Vintage Blue Ridge Coral
Add a touch of the ocean’s natural beauty to your home with this stunning selection of Vintage Blue Ridge Coral. Known for its unique ability to retain color within its skeleton, Blue Ridge Coral is a rare find. The gorgeous blue and grey hues, caused by iron salts, give this coral its distinctive appearance. Perfect for coastal-inspired decor or as a centerpiece in sea-themed arts and crafts, this coral is as versatile as it is beautiful.
This vintage coral was obtained from Shell World of Texas, a well-known old shell shop. These pieces have been in storage since the 1980s, some even older.
As part of our recent acquisition, we are offering these corals as “shop picked,” meaning you will receive one gorgeous piece from our collection, similar to those shown, but not the exact one.
These corals are at the first stage of processing which is why they are not vibrant blue. We do offer vibrant blue corals on another listing on our website.
Please note: We do not sell or support any new coral specimens. All our corals are vintage and ethically sourced.
