Coral is calcium carbonate with a trade of carotene. Its color ranges from white to red. It grows in branches that look like underwater
trees. Most coral is found in the Mediterranean Sea or in the Pacific off Japan and Taiwan.When you say the word coral, most people think
of the coral reefs in the South Pacific like the Great Barrier Reef off Australia. However, these coral reefs are formed by a different species
than the coral traditionally used in jewelry Corallium rubrum and Corallium japonicum.
The most valuable colors of coral are red, black, and pink, which is known as angel skin coral. Coral is much softer than other gem
materials with a hardness of only 3.5. As a result it should be stored carefully to avoid scratches. Coral is also porous so it should not
come into contact with chemicals. To clean it, wipe it gently with a moist soft cloth.

Coral is among the most ancient of gem materials, used for adornment since prehistoric times. Coral inlays and ornaments have been
found in Celtic tombs from the Iron Age. Coral has a history of religious significance. Coral is one of the seven treasures in Buddhist
scriptures and Tibetan Lamas use coral rosaries. Coral was long thought to be a powerful talisman that could
stop bleeding, protect from evil spirits, and ward off hurricanes (that and the fact that it looks great with a tan make it the perfect gem for
South Beach).
