A Rock Currier memorabilia item from his cabinet of curiosities assembled over his life, this is a work of art that he got from his friend and fellow collector Ed Swoboda back in the day, and kept for fun. It seems to be red coral embedded in a coral-shaped mass of either gold solder or gold amalgam - No apparent value for the gold content, but it is a fun work of art.
Donated by The Rock Currier Collection (Jewel Tunnel Inc.)
