I'm so new to this but I'm finding these in my yard. So my questions are, is the yellow stuff the coral? Does anyone here know about tampa coral- if not and you are interested do a quick Google!

ynot Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Some corals from Tampa are geodized (is it lite?) , but the only way to be sure is to cut it.

Jonelle Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 yes I've found a few small agatized coral pieces and they are beautiful... but they are very small compared to this beast ! I'm not even sure where to cut into it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reas look like tumbled agate/quartzites. They could be corals but I do not see anything definitive. Take a close look for the coral septia. Tony 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Jonelle Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 @ynot where would be the best place to cut it? Along the coral or around? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
