    I bought some large roughly faceted coral beads at a recent show. 
    The customer who bought the necklace made from them wants to know
    more about the coral.  Knowing just a little about coral, I can't
    get by with just "red". 

    As I said, each bead is large, about 35 mm x 25 mm.  Their base
    color is a soft coral and many of them have off-white spots which,
    on close inspection, look like sunbursts.  They also have random
    rough black markings.  They do not appear to have been dyed or
    highly polished. 

    I will be so grateful to anyone who can help.
