That said, the broken piece might have been a deal in disguise.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know what you mean about coral.&nbsp; I sometimes have mixed feelings reselling it, with an antique or vintage piece what&#039;s done is done, but hate to think of the coral reefs getting destroyed.&nbsp; Famous last words, just sold an older coral necklace last week that I posted earlier here, but the dwindling supply is food for thought.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a NOAA site asking shoppers to pass on the coral.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/coral-jewelry.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/coral-jewelry.html" rel="nofollow">https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/coral-jewelry.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
