Hi all,

I think that is coral, moreover I think that it is from genre Corales Corallium, and maybe dyed bamboo coral. One important difference between this bamboo coral and the “authentic red coral” (have several sites where different species of red coral grow up, like Japan or Italy, even Catalonia) is the separation between their lines. The lines of this item have a huge separation.

It’s important to say that I never have coral, I only see it in the shops, and it’s meaning that my information is not contrasted.
