Description: RARE VTG. LEE SANDS BOLD NAT RED SPONGE CORAL 25" NECKLACE NWT. I purchased this necklace to wear with my aqua and turquoise clothes on vacation in Hawaii but never wore it. It has been stored in my climate controlled smoke free home since purchasing. It is a beautiful color of reddish orange with light red and dark red swirls in each bead. A lot of western jewelry use red coral because of its beauty. It is truly a work of art from nature and the sea. It is definitely a magnificent piece of jewelry for anyone because it is bold but not uncomfortably heavy. Red Sponge Coral is very sought after because of its unique appearance for jewelry and supplies are diminishing. Red Sponge Coral is a type of coral that is Orange-Red in color due to iron oxide in the water. It is found in water reservoirs, unlike real sponges. The red sponge coral is a captivating organic gemstone formed from the exoskeletal remains of marine polyps. It is formed after the polyps die and leave behind their hard, protective exoskeleton made of calcium carbonate, forming the beautiful coral structures in the water. Caring for red sponge coral is simple. It is sensitive to acids and chemicals, such as perfume, hairspray, and any kind of cleaners. To clean the polished surface use a soft damp cloth and gently rub. Red Sponge Coral should be stored separately from other jewelry, using a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratches and damage to its natural surface. It is a fine piece of jewelry.
