What kind of stone is coral?
To begin with, coral refers to an organism that lives on the ocean floor. Although it looks like a plant because it branches out, it is a member of the same family as sea anemones and jellyfish and is called a cnidaria. The power stone is made by processing the skeleton of coral. Like pearls, it is not a mineral but is called an "organic gemstone."
The word coral comes from the English word for coral, and it is often used in fashion and cosmetics as "coral color."
Coral is naturally white, but brightly colored coral that has been dyed in red, black, pink, and other colors is also sold around the world.
Coral is the birthstone for March. What is its meaning and meaning?
Coral is known as the birthstone for March along with aquamarine and bloodstone. Its stone words are "happiness" and "longevity."
In Buddhism, it is counted among the "Seven Treasures" and has long been said to have a strong energy that brings good luck and wealth to its owner. It is said that wearing it purifies negative aspects, brings in bright energy, and brings happiness to the owner.
In addition, because it grows in the ocean over many years, it has a strong life energy and is a stone that can be expected to have a longevity effect. In the past, this energy was believed to ward off evil and pray for safety, but now it is also used to pray for safe childbirth and is highly popular as a talisman for postpartum recovery.
Having grown up bathed in the gentle and magnificent energy of the ocean, it is perhaps because of this that it envelops its owner and calms the mind.
