Stone: Red Coral
Coral is not a mined stone or mineral, but an organic gemstone. It is the hardened, skeleton-shaped result of secretions continuously deposited by marine polyps. Ancient Egyptians used to process them into fine jewelry. Native Americans use them very often in jewelry making together with high-contrast turquoises.
