The coral is an organic gemstone formed from the skeletons of marine polyps, valued for its rich hues and smooth, lustrous texture. Unlike minerals, it is composed of calcium carbonate and has been cherished for centuries in jewelry, art, and spiritual traditions.
Ranging in color from delicate pink (angel skin) to deep red (oxblood), as well as orange, white, and even black, coral has long been associated with protection, vitality, and prosperity. Sourced mainly from the Mediterranean, Japan, and the Pacific, it remains a symbol of elegance and natural beauty, connecting the wearer to the mysteries of the ocean.
