Property and curiosity about the Bamboo Coral

The Coral contrarily to what it thinks, isn’t a “plant”, but an animal, infact they are colonies of small polyps that producing calcium carbonate build a branched skeleton called corallo; the ethymology of the word corallo result from the greek “Koraillon” that means “Hard Skeleton”.

The Bamboo Coral is a species of vegetable origine, is a particolar variety of corallo that is located off the coast of Taiwan, called in that way because of the similarity with the bamboo cane, in the reality it’s a root of white color very tough and compact very similary to the Coral and it’s colored.

This material let to have jewelry of high quality that are very similar to the Coral, but they are more cheaper and surely more environmentally friendly.
