Source for Coral (handle material)

[Gus Kalanzis]

I have a friend (from TKC) who is a maker that needs a source for Coral. As a gem and mineral collector I have been unable to help him out.
Any one have any ideas?
Thank you - Gus

The only place i have seen coral slabs for knife handles was Mother of Pearl Inc.

I know i saw it at shows, although most of it was cut thin for use in folding pocket knives..

Thanks Alan & Darrel!! I emailed him the url to this thread. (Kinda cool threading with a friend who is working on my next knife and with a newfound friend who will do the one after that.

I love this place.
