Coral

Overview

The word Coral is derived from the ancient Greek word "korallion". Historically, this word was used to describe the precious red coral from the Mediterranean.
The Coral is a branching skeleton-like structure built by polyp-bearing marine animals that live in colonies and are found throughout the world in the seas and oceans from freezing polar regions to equatorial reefs and at all depths. The branches are generally 20-40 cm in height and up to 6 cm thick.

Coral is made of calcium carbonate and is relatively soft, but surprisingly durable. coral comes in a variety of colours ranging from white to pink, red, orange, yellow, blue and black.

Coral is a traditional gift for the expectant mother or newborn as a protective amulet. Coral comes from the sea and is associated with emotional healing because of its watery home. It is also considered a bolster remedy for physical disorders involving blood and bones, nourishing blood cells and strengthening the skeleton.
