Comment: Always asked from us, but we couldn't find a true Italian source without doing harm to the little remaining coral environment. This, and future coral, comes from old stock, harvested long ago, when coral was plentiful and humans didn't yet imagine they could plunder the vast areas to death. Sad but unchangeable history aside, important for natural coral is color (here it is more a question of personal taste than in inorganic gemstones, but vibrant red is considered the most valauble), surface quality and treatment (too plentiful in types to name plus legions of synthetics, imitations etc. etc). This near 6mm round cabochon is natural and untreated, which the accompanying IGI-report will document for your descendants. For these special products we will donate to the best Ocean-preservation charity on-top-off our usual rainforest protection and animal rights group. Can be set as single stone into a unique ring. Judge the extra fine quality in the close-up image below: immaculate color and flawless surface texture.
