<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 145132, member: 54"]We retrieved these coral pieces from a lake-salvaged cannon we thought had only been in fresh water, Lake Champlain, in New York. Large pieces together are about 3" x 12", and were toward the rear of the cannon when dislodged. No idea if someone stuck them there or if they grew in place. I suspect due to the cannon-bore shape, it grew in the cannon somehow, but really IHNI. ?? I thought coral only existed in salt water. The white inside part is just like milky Quartz, the mineral, and the weight is about the same.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/image67.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/image68.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/image69.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/image70.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
