Coral Information
:
Mediterranean Red Coral
is a gemstone quality variety of natural Coral. Precious coral is slowly built by very small marine animals known as coral polyps. These tiny, soft-bodied creatures form with minute, hard shells that accumulate as the colony grows. Over time, the colony begins to form complex branches and skeletal structures composed of hardened calcium carbonate, and colored by carotenoid pigments. These biological formations grow very slowly, often as little as just 1 millimeter per year, ranging in size from small, hand-sized structures to enormous Coral reefs.
Most Coral gemstones available today are varieties of Corallium rubrum, a very specific pink to red colored species of the Coral genus. In the trade, Corallium rubrum is sometimes referred to as 'Noble Coral' and is considered to be the most desirable type of Coral for jewelry. Noble Coral also includes the popular 'Angel Skin Coral', a pink to salmon colored Coral.
Coral Gemstone Mythology, Metaphysical and Alternative Crystal Healing Powers
Since the beginning of the 1st millennium, precious Coral has been highly prized as a gem believed to be endowed with mysterious, powerful and sacred properties. The Gauls often used Coral gems as ornamentation for their helmets and weapons in the belief that it was a protective stone. Ancient Egyptians also placed Coral in tombs of the deceased to protect against evil spirits because they believed each Coral gem actually contained divine blood. The Romans hung branches of Coral around the necks of their children to protect them from danger. In the early 20th century, the people of Italy used Coral for protection from the 'evil eye' and many Italians used it for infertility.
In the Jyotish and Vedic practice of planetary gemology
, red Coral is the planetary stone for Mars. The Pueblo Indians considered Coral to be one of the four elemental stones. Among the Hopi and Zuni tribes, the 'road of life' is symbolized by Coral, Jet, Abalone and Turquoise (the four elements). Although precious Coral is not a traditional birthstone for any month, it is a zodiac stone for Pisces, Scorpio, Capricorn and Taurus. Red Coral is ideal for the root or base chakra and pink Coral can be beneficial for the heart chakra.
