CORALS are the product of tiny living beings which settled in enormous colonies in the depths of warm seas long before our time. The polyps, surrounded by a fleshy skin, excrete a carbonic substance from which the corals grow like trees and branches. Corals grow in nature in a wide range of colors from red to white and from blue and brown to black. The most popular are the red hues such as pale pink or salmon, all the way out to a deep dark red. When we hear the word coral we first think of the coral reefs in the Southern Ocean or off Australia. However, it is not these protected coral species of which we are talking here. In jewelry, it is corals such as \'corallium rubrum\' and \'corallium japonicum\' that are used. Corals live at depths of between three and 300 meters in the waters around Japan, Taiwan, the Malaysian Archipelago, the Red Sea, the Bay of Biscay, the Canary Islands, northeast Australia, and the Midway Islands. In the Mediterranean there are also coral banks. Like pearls, these are also organic jewelry materials. Both are products of the water, chemically closely related, and consist of more than 90 percent calcium carbonate. Traditionally the fragile little coral trees were brought up from the depths with trawl nets. Now corals have become rather rare and divers are deployed in a less destructive process which involves harvesting the sensitive coral branches. After that, the branches are cleaned, sorted and processed by means of saws, knives, files or drills. Coral has been used for decorative purposes and esteemed as a protective stone since time immemorial. Even today, red corals are still worn as a talisman to protect the wearer against evil spirits in many cultures. Modern gemstone therapists highly esteem its positive effects. Coral, it is said, relieves tension and fear and promotes positive forms of social life.
