Hexagonaria coral is a type of fossil coral that dates back to the Devonian period, approximately 350 million years ago

Hexagonaria is a genus of colonial rugose coral. These corals are characterized by their hexagonal patterns and intricate details, which are often highlighted through polishing. They are commonly found in large, rounded heads. The fossils are found in rock formations dating back to the Devonian period. Hexagonaria fossils are found in Morocco, specifically in the Sahara Desert and the Assa Zag region.

Polished Hexagonaria coral is valued for its aesthetic qualities and is used in jewelry, home décor, and collections. The natural hues range from soft creams and browns to deeper shades, making each specimen unique.

The Hexagonaria coral fossils from Morocco are from the Devonian period, approximately 350 million years old.

Hexagonaria is similar to the Petoskey stone found in Michigan. The Hexagonaria percarinatum species is commonly found in Michigan. The corallites of Hexagonaria have a central pillar called a columella, with radiating features called septae.
