CORAL - PHYSICAL & METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Coral has been used for personal ornamentation, and as an article of commerce, from the earliest period recorded in writing. Popular today, as always been, especially in the form of polished fragments, pierced and strung like beads, and less extensively in beads, spherical or oval. The most desired, high grade of coral is becoming scarce, and those who gather it from the ocean's floor are anxiously seeking new sources of supply. At the present time coral is increasing in favour and the demand for it is steadily growing. Red Coral is good for helping to "tame" the wildness within, such as tempers, rages, compulsive disorders. It helps us to balance the spiritual and protects one from depression and despondency. Pink coral helps bring out your natural beauty and get rid of blemishes and white coral is a symbol of purity.
