<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 2243677, member: 5833&quot;]More than ever I think it is coral.&nbsp; I just tried this again myself to see if I still thought it was a valid test &amp; concluded it is.&nbsp; Polished coral can be very very smooth.&nbsp; If you test it against your teeth, the way you would a pearl, it may seem glassy.&nbsp; But if you compare it with how actual glass feels to your teeth, you&#039;ll realize there is a faint roughness/graininess.&nbsp; Found I had to put a slight bit of pressure on the coral to be sure of feeling it.&nbsp; What I&#039;m seeing is the way the piece of material is not a perfect cabochon shape at the back &amp; edge, like some material had to be removed as unsuitable, &amp; the little black spots look like the predator damage to coral, not like inclusions in stone.&nbsp; I find the color to be completely consistent with coral &amp; the degree of opacity inconsistent with cornelian.&nbsp; That&#039;s my case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
