Good point cknowito about bottling life;
I would never want to deal in some product that kills off live coral, or is damaging to the eco system.
Fossilized is another matter.
We deal in insects fossilized in amber in the beading world all the time; a bit of preserved history.
Or fossilized...
I am referring to sponge coral often found in jewelry. I am a jewelry beader by hobby and a naturalist by heart and I heard that there are quite a few harvesters of jewel coral that strip the sea of coral to sell and that there is farmed coral that is cultivated in pools with less impact on sea...
I read on the Internet that Buying fossilized coral or sponge coral that is not farmed is damaging to the environment because it rapes marine life of their necessary habitats.
Is this an issue in the the marine biolgy world?
Should we boycott nonfarmed coral?
