Coral

Description: Coral is not a stone but an organic material formed by living organisms, specifically coral polyps. It's most commonly found in shades of red, pink, white, and black. Coral grows in branches that mimic underwater tree-like structures and is harvested from the ocean depths, primarily in the Mediterranean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. It's popular in jewelry for its vibrant colors and is often carved into beads, cameos, and other ornamental objects.

Fun Fact: Coral is believed to have protective healing properties, traditionally worn to ward off evil spirits and misfortune. In many cultures, coral represents modesty, wisdom, and happiness. It's also interesting to note that because coral reefs are sensitive to environmental changes, the material has become a symbol in campaigns promoting ocean conservation.
