The Coral artifact itself was constructed of a metallic crystal and was architecturally perfect.{{Ref/Reuse|CU}} Its symmetry was "impossibly accurate", and its walls were of equal height, even to a near-atomic scale. It was rich in detail, adorned with decorative artistic motifs. Its method of manufacturing was unexplainable.{{Ref/Reuse|CU}} When it was discovered, the surrounding rock was evaporated by explosive to a depth of 30 meters but the object itself remained unscorched or otherwise affected.{{Ref/Reuse|CU}} Further excavation revealed that this was only the top of the object, that underneath there existed a complex of galleries and vaults, although these remained sealed.{{Ref/Reuse|CU}} It was feared that the object's secrets have been lost to time, although the expedition - and the UNSC - hoped that something could be learned from it that would aid in the war effort.{{Ref/Reuse|CU}} | The Coral artifact itself was constructed of a metallic crystal and was architecturally perfect.{{Ref/Reuse|CU}} Its symmetry was "impossibly accurate", and its walls were of equal height, even to a near-atomic scale.
