CORAL is becoming more difficult to obtain
due to trade and harvesting regulations
related to the importance of this creature
to the ecosystems of the world.

Coral is a natural gemstone derived from the
skeletons of a marine animal related
to jellyfish and anemones. It's one of the most
ancient types of jewelry with Coral
artifacts having been found from as long ago
as 10,000 B.C.!

Many special properties are attributed to it:
Coral is one of the seven treasures listed
in Buddhist scriptures.
Coral was thought to be able to calm the sea,
and protect from lightning and hurricanes.
Ancient Romans put coral around the necks of
their children to protect them from harm.
Pulverized coral added to wine was believed to be
a potent curative tonic (Ancient Rome).
In Medieval times, coral was used
to ward off the evil eye.
