Since I found them at the Tucson Gem Shows, these were probably cut to resemble Tibetan coral which was very popular with Asian collectors at the time.
Valued worldwide by humans for over 10,000 years, coral was treasured by ancient Egyptians and other Africans, Indians, Greeks and Romans as well as Celtic tribes of northern Europe, Tibetans, Chinese, and North American Indians.
Mediterranean red-orange coral is most famous.
