[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4469709, member: 2844"]Both beautiful coral branches, you lucky people.:happy: That orangey colour could be Momo coral, rather than Mediterranean red coral. Both are precious coral species. Momo is called Corallium Elatius, it is found from Japan to Indonesia. Mediterranean red is called Corallium Rubrum, it is mainly found in the Mediterranean. [USER=76624]@TheArtOfTheFart[/USER] where are you? Your approx. location could be an indication of the likelihood of one v. the other. Agree, but it works even better if you press the Q-Tip on the coral for 20-30 seconds, no rubbing. Don't worry about loss of colour, there won't be any.[/QUOTE]
