Coral – The Mysterious Child of the Ocean

Coral crystals are the offspring of the sea and ocean. These delicate stones are a combination of marine microorganisms that turn the underwater floor into a colorful garden. This is why, in ancient times, coral was believed to originate from plants.

An interesting legend connects it with Perseus’ victory over Medusa Gorgon. In a deadly clash, he cut off her head, and the drops of blood that fell into the ocean turned into red corals.

This myth probably forms the basis of the Egyptian legend, according to which every stone contains a drop of divine blood.

Did You Know?

Have you heard that coral is widely used in medicine? This is thanks to the hormones and calcium in its composition. Powdered coral is used by many pharmaceutical companies to make medicine that normalize blood sugar levels and boosts metabolism.

This is not a modern innovation. Even in ancient times, powdered coral was used as an antiseptic for heavy bleeding, as well as to relieve intestinal spasms and even poisoning.

Japanese companies produce bone tissue for prostheses and fractures from coral.

Healing and Mystical Properties of Coral

As mentioned above, coral has many beneficial effects on the circulatory and skeletal systems. It symbolizes boundless hope, youth’s beauty, and health’s strength.

People who carry coral or jewelry with the beautiful stone enjoy vitality, calmness, and strength. Unlike its medical properties, its mystical ones disappear if it is ground or broken.

Another mystical belief suggests that coral protects against lightning or natural disasters such as tornadoes or earthquakes.

The red and white hues of the stone are considered useful for treating mental illnesses.

Coral can be found in various colors – from white, pink, and typical red to blue or black.

Coral and Zodiac Signs

Coral, or "Moonga" (in Hindi), is considered to be under the influence of the planet Mars.

Similar to Mars, it is known for its properties to enhance:

• activity
• courage
• self-discipline
• confidence
• intelligence

The stone, like the planet, has a positive effect on the immune system, circulation, and sexual health. It can also support your marriage and career, and help you connect with your children.

Its power increases significantly during a full moon. Coral favors the zodiac sign Pisces. Its red hues are linked to those born under the sign of Scorpio.

Prices

The beautiful coral stones are harvested at quite a depth. This is why some types can be quite expensive. One of the priciest ones is red coral, mostly used for making jewelry.
