Coral is a creation that comes from the sea and at one time it was a home to some form of marine life. Red, pink and white coral is mostly calcium carbonate, whereas, black and gold coral is conchiolin. Coral is mainly found on the African coasts and Mediterranean coasts, Australia, Japan, Malaysia and the West Indies.

Coral is thought to posses many healing and metaphysical properties, it represents Mars in Vedic astrology and is said to have a hot warming influence. Coral can also be helpful for those who are rundown and suffering from colds and flu. Red coral is thought to be good for helping to tame the wildness within, such as tempers, rages, and compulsive disorders. Coral carries the sun’s energy and can work well with other gemstones such as turquoise.

Imitation coral necklaces usually come from China and India and they may be made from ceramic glass, stained bone, white coral or horn dyed red and plastic. Natural coral has a wood grain texture to it and a good tip for telling the difference between Red Coral and glass is that if you have worn it for over a month and it hasn’t lost it glossy surface, you can usually be fairly sure it is red glass.

Caring for your Coral Necklace:

Coral is especially fragile so it is really important to ensure you protect it from scratches and harsh blows. If possible avoid large changes in temperature and do not clean it in an ultrasonic cleaner. Cleaning with salt water is usually a good option but take into consideration other gemstones it may have been paired with.
