    Hi everyone! I bought this branch coral brooch this weekend. I did a google image search and it said the writing was Japanese for nickel or german silver. I don’t know much (or anything) about red coral. I googled a bit, but I trust you guys more. Is this real red coral? Or dyed red coral? There are a few white spots on the ends. I know the brooch is worth the dollar I paid for it, but is it worth much more than that? I was trying to find comparable pieces on ebay, but the prices were all over the place.
    Thanks for any and all comments!!!
