Original Message:   Dyed fossil coral

We've been looking in Guangzhou at a lot of the gem sellers for some red biezen enhanced Indonesian coral. We saw some a few weeks ago but didn't remember where. Today I found some DYED Indonesian coral. How do I know it is dyed? The process for dying candy jade and most of the magnesite has a distinctive odor when fresh. The beads are cut and then dyed. The different colors have different smells. Moth ball, peppermint and Pepto Bismo are common odors. This red coral had a strong peppermint odor. Plus the colors are different than the colors of the carnelian red of the ones Jamey showed. These beads are about 20x30. Copyright 2026 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
