The proper name for this material is agatized coral or agatized fossil coral. The fossilized coral typically appears as small flower-like patterns in the stone. Agatized fossil coral can exhibit a wide range of natural colors, ranging from white & pink to brown, gray, black, yellow & red. Corals may vary widely within a single stone depending on weathering & oxidation & the original mineral content. Corals are among the most colorful animals in the sea. Most corals live in warm, shallow, tropical seas & feed on plankton. The oldest fossil corals are from the Ordovican period, over 450 million years ago. Corals are marine animals with a sac-like body, mouth, tentacles & skeleton. It is the skeleton that survives in the fossil record. Corals may be solitary or found in large colonies.
