CAN I SELL OLD CORAL FROM THE BAHAMAS

Hi
I was wondering if anyone can help me with this question. I am clearing out my aunt's flat, and she lived in the Bahamas for many years. Amongst her possessions are several pieces of white coral and I was wondering if I can sell these to raise funds for her care home.
Many thanks

Yes of course you can. Who just need to Google sell white coral to see how much is on the market1

I would be careful, many species of coral are now protected and cannot be sold . It isn’t something I deal with a lot so can’t say which is saleable and which is not, i just know that CITES has rules about it now.unforeseen said:Yes of course you can.

Thank you so much to all you who replied. This was probably bought in the Bahamas in the 1960's/1970's as she lived out there for many years. It is quite complicated, so will need to investigate it further.
Many thanks once again1 -
