Not sure why but I kept forgetting the name of this stone.
Most of the time, I only remember the coral part :)
This stone comes is several shades of colors - brown, reddish, gray, yellow, red as can be seen here.
The beautiful part of this stone is the flower like patterns in the stone. Just awesome!
I wrapped it in this particular way so that the "flowers" are all visible because that's the beauty of the stone.

Beautiful, Mei! Fossilized Coral is one of my fav stones and I have some cabs in my collection. Once I get better in Bead embroidery, I'll use them.
