Protector of dharma, the Coral gemstone is said to be a representative of Tuesday, and have healing powers against blood-related illnesses and diseases. Coral helps in making the person bold , courageous and serene.
Coral is an ancient gemstone, and has been used for thousands of years. Aside from the lovely solid colors found in Coral, it can also have color zones or swirls, with white, pink, orange, and red being the most prevalent. Coral is naturally dull; polishing is required to bring out its glassy luster. Coral gemstones can be either solid or porous, depending on the polyp formation. Despite Coral's pretty colors, it is very soft and brittle, and does not make a durable gemstone. It is prone to both scratches and chipping.
