Marine Bed Semi-Fossil Coral vs. Above Water Fossilized Coral

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.
