Coral Rocks Bring a Feel of the Ocean

If you’ve ever been to the ocean, particularly the warm areas of the ocean, perhaps you’ve seen the extensive coral formations that occur there. Coral is formed by tiny organisms that build colonies with calcified rock. The result is a rocklike substance that has many different textures and patterns made up of holes and ridges. Associated with the warm ocean climates, coral is one of the most natural beauties in the world.

Coral rocks are mined in Florida and they definitely create a tropical flair when added to any landscape. Just like the coral of the ocean, coral rocks are full of natural holes and textures, and often contain fossils. This stone is used extensively in warm climates for patios, walkways, and for building structures like walls and fireplaces. It is a beautiful stone that many have found is easy to work with and perfect to include in landscapes in warm climates. Because of its natural ocean feel, coral stone is ideal for any landscape that incorporates a tropical flair, or one that is near the ocean.
