Fossil corals: Untreated corals

When one finds fossilised corals, sometimes they look soiled and crusted but other times they are so marvelous just as they are alive!
Fossils usually must be cleaned and this is a little delicate.
The next two fossil-corals, that I have already put for sale in Ebay, are not treated at all, simply washed using only water and a brush.
Enjoy the pictures :
