<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1911808, member: 5833"]Yes. Features we are noticing are the striations/growth lines (channels for nutrients to get into the colony) & the uneven color, including the white patches. (I'm being pre-empted by other posts with same info.) I can't really speak to the species/origin of the coral, only to its genuineness. I have seen Victorian era coral cameos that were indistinguishable in the appearance of the material from your dad's seahorse. Don't know when jewellers began to 'source' (when did that become a verb?) coral from Asia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
