Above Water Fossilized Coral Calcium and Ecological Safety
Ecological
safety appears to be a huge issue with the companies selling
fossilized coral calcium. They claim that since it is not
taken from the ocean floor that is does not cause ecological harm.
Well, they are half right. It does not cause harm to the marine
ecosystem, but what about harm to the wildlife above the water?
Most mining projects have a ton of waste material that will create
acids and other toxins. Plant and animal life are both very sensitive
to pH and a small variation can throw off this delicate acid/base
balance and cause death.
This may or may not be the case in the mining of fossilized
coral calcium. What is being mined is a basic fossil or limestone
rock. Limestone is very alkalizing and is often used to treat
the grass at golf courses to maintain the pH, but is not usually
sold for
human consumption. Since it is very alkalizing it can be used to
treat
the run off
from the mining process to reduce the devastation it could bring
on the plant and animal species. We have not been told if this
is being done or not. It seems that any time you bring up questions
such as these to any web site selling fossilized coral you do not
get a response. We even asked www.coralcalcium-watchdog.com and
still no response. So, the jury is still out on whether
or not the mining
of above ground fossilized coral calcium causes ecological hazards.
Take a minute to view the pictures below taken from these fossilized
coral mining beds and decide for yourself if the plants and animals
that once lived there could survive in this man made sand pit.

And you thought cutting down a rainforest looked bad!
ALL plant life is being destroyed in these pictures! It
will be hard for the animals that thrived on this vegetation
to survive.
