Bamboo Coral Jewelry

Bamboo Coral is the most common Coral on the market today. It starts out a dull cream color but takes dye well and is used to cheaply imitate the very, very expensive Natural Red and Pink Coral. Bamboo Coral is almost always DYED. The natural Red/Pink Corals are now permanently banned from mining and it is likely all Coral will be banned soon. That said, almost nothing in the semi-precious gem world can compete with the vibrant Pinks and Reds of dyed Bamboo Coral! Please note that for esoteric purposes, dyed gemstones are thought to have less potency.

Mystical Properties: Red gemstones are associated with Mars and those born under that planetary influence (i.e., Aries or Scorpio). Wearing Red Coral Jewelry is said to cool their intense fiery natures.

An important gemstone in Eastern Astrology, especially to those born under the sign of Aries. Thought to quell anger. The pink varieties are said to favor women born under those signs.

Pink Coral is thought to help one think and behave in a loving manner. Natural Healers consider Pink Coral important to the Heart Chakra. Sometimes associated with the Astrological sign of Cancer.

Some Healers associate this Coral with Pisces and increased psychic ability.

The traditional gift for the 35th Wedding Anniversary.

Healing Properties: Often said to protect the health of children. Thought to aid in blood/circulatory problems as well as menstrual/uterine concerns. Upon color fadage, the stone should be discarded and replaced.

Scientific Properties: Composed of Calcium Carbonate (Calcite). This is an organic gemstone made by living sea coral.

Most Coral today is being mined in Asia, however the mining of Natural Red Coral has already been banned and we believe all Coral will be banned very soon. Hardness: 3.5 - 4.0 on the Moh's Hardness Scale

Owner Warning! Because Coral is an organic gemstone and relatively soft, it should be worn with care. Use extreme caution in cleaning this gemstone as it may be easily broken down by some solvents. Protect from harsh sunlight to prevent fadage of the gemstone.

Disclaimer: Newage Enterprises makes no claims as to the healing properties of this gemstone. We provide information on legends surrounding this stone's mystical and healing properties which allow the informed user to make their own decision.
