Coral
The Gem Stone of Mars
Coral attracts yellow cosmic rays. It is hot and ruled by Mars. Yellow cosmic rays rectify blood-related disorders, stabilize blood pressure, provide energy and vigor, and improve mental balance.
It rectifies anger and helps those who are anemic. It allows people to cure nervousness and fear, giving them courage and confidence.
In India, coral was as highly valued as the pearl was in Rome. The Chinese and the Hindus ornamented the figures of their gods with it, while in Tibet coral’s red color was believed symbolic of one of the incarnations of Buddha.
About Coral
It is pulled from the ocean depths and hits the surface looking like a mutant from a monster movie. Gnarled, covered with organic parasites and debris, it is not even remotely beautiful. But cleaned, cut, carved and polished, coral becomes an object d’art of rare and costly beauty, as prized today as it was 10,000 years ago.
Coral is discovered in still, clear water between 25 and 1000 feet deep. The intensity and quality of color increases with depth. The best coral is found in the waters of southern Ireland, the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, and Japanese waters.
Italy is considered the center of coral jewelry creation. Torre del Greco, near Naples, is where the best coral jewelry in Italy is made. A great deal of coral is exported to India and China, where it is used in religious rituals.
Value & Rarity
Red Coral is the most valued coral of all, favored worldwide for its hardness, beauty, and sanguine hue. It is brought up from the sandy bottom of the Mediterranean and the Gulf of Naples.
Coral beads and artifacts were found in graves of pre-dynastic Egypt, from as far back as 4000 B.C. Throughout the world, museums have coral collections of amulets and ornaments going as far back as 1000 B.C.

Facts about Coral
Coral was thought to quiet the waves and made the sea calm. (Considering the fact that coral reefs protect the shoreline, that idea wasn’t completely wrong!)
Coral was also thought to preserve against lightening and terrible tornadoes. Its power supposedly increased when exposed to the full moon
According to ancient lore, Perseus placed the severed head of Medusa in its bag on a heap of seaweed. The head’s power passed into the seaweed, which turned as rigid and as shriveled as stone. The Sea Nymphs were delighted. They took armfuls of it back under the sea with them and brought fresh seaweed up to be turned to stone by the head of Medusa. Hence, we have coral.
The Romans believed coral to be a potent charm, and hung branches of coral around the necks of their children to preserve them from harm. They also pulverized it and mixed it with wine, as a cure-all tonic to be imbibed after their infamous debauches.
During the Medieval period coral was used as a cure for sterility and as charm against the evil eye.
Italian men presented coral jewelry to their beloved as a token of love and fidelity to signify that they were engaged.
A Native American husband in the Southwest presented red coral jewelry to his wife so that she might bear him many children.
This food comes from the upper layer of the Earth. If we go further down into the Earth, you will find the roots which help us to survive. If we go down further into the Earth, then we discover the minerals which we need to survive. The most essential element of the above mentioned breakdown of the Earth is the concentrated form of energy or as is known by Vedic science, the essence of Earth…or gemstones.The right proportions of food, air, water, and heat give us life and energy. Similarly, the right gemstones will provide a harmonious and more improved life. You may say that you don’t eat gemstones but you do eat food. Gemstones work the same way that lightening effects you, or how the Sun ray’s give you Vitamin D, or how the sound of soothing music relaxes you. The aroma of onions will make you cry even though you don’t touch them. Gemstone energy works on your mind. When the mind is balanced, you will make less mistakes and you will have more time, money, and energy to construct a better future.
You may still argue as to how a piece of rock will help you. Take for example a knife made out of iron. However, when the doctor uses the knife with the right knowledge, that piece of iron becomes a life saving tool. Vedic Astrological Science is based on the physics of Nature and the chemistry of the Earth. Combining the five basic elements: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Cosmic Energy, you conclude at Vedic astrological gemstones. The more you harmonize with these energies, the better conductivity of success will develop within you and around you. Nature provides these elements, without which you cannot exist. Therefore Nature controls your every second. Furthermore, Nature inspires the mind, which in turn influences the body to act positively or negatively according to the harmony of cosmic energy and environment. Remember, we generate the right prescription based upon your own very unique birth place, date, and time of birth.
Nature will not come knocking on your door to help you. You must take advantage of this light and put it to work for a better future.
Please Note Vedic Gemstones also known as Jyotish Gemstones, Astrological Gemstones, Healing Gemstones, Holistic Gems, Navratna, Jyotish Gems, Planetary Gems, Birthstones.
By wearing properly prescribed gemstones under proper supervision, you can benefit from the natural healing characteristics of Vedic astrological gemstones. We do not recommend these Vedic astrological gemstones to be applied in lieu of necessary medical attention. By no means is this information a self-help panacea. However, we do recommend the application of Vedic astrological gemstones in efforts to reduce discomfort in a natural and time-demanding situation. One must remember that we are not qualified medical experts.
However, we have empirical evidence that utilizes the examination of your horoscope and family background for a prescription. Our ‘dosages’ are monitored and are based on the size and type of gemstones.The ancient scientific scriptures consistently mention the relationship between color, planets, and gemstones. With the almost sacred color stratification, ROYGBIV (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet), we see the correlation perfectly. The cosmic rays that manifest themselves in various wavelengths (colors) have unique affects on the health of our mind and body. The purest of the ROYGBIV rays resides concentrated in precious gems, and so, the gems are of great curative value.

What we are trying to illustrate here are the fundamentals of our human existence. If we were to mix the below mentioned amounts of elements into a doll, then would the doll come to life? Of course not! Then you must know that something else is affecting us, namely, prana (cosmic energy).
The table below gives the amount of each chemical element found in the human body, from most to least abundant. For each element, there is the amount in mass units in an average (70-kilogram) person, the volume of the element, and the length of the side of a cube that would contain that amount of the pure element. Volumes of solid and liquid elements are based on density at or near room temperature (where available). For the gaseous elements (oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, chlorine, and fluorine), I chose to use the density of each in the liquid state at the respective boiling point.
Raw data from which this table was made are from Emsley, John, The Elements, 3rd ed., Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1998. This is a great trove of information, which I highly recommend for anyone wishing to learn more about the elements.
Note
Oxygen is the most abundant element in the earth’s crust and in the body. The body’s 43 kilograms of oxygen is found mostly as a component of water, which makes up 70% of total body weight. Oxygen is also an integral component of all proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), carbohydrates, and fats.
Rubidium is the most abundant element in the body (0.68 g) that has no known biological role (silicon, which is slightly more abundant, may or may not have a metabolic function).
Vanadium is the body’s least abundant element (0.11 mg) that has a known biologic role, followed by cobalt (3 mg), the latter being a constituent of vitamin B12.
The last of the body’s elements to be discovered was fluorine, by Moissan in 1886.
