1. Dark red

3. Vermilion
4. Hingul (a shade of red)
It can also be found in pink, white, and black.
Origin:
Coral, like pearls, is not a mineral but a biological product of the sea. It resembles branches of a vine and is formed by a marine animal known as "coral," which is sticky and jelly-like. This organism attaches itself to submerged rocks and secretes calcium carbonate, which hardens over time to form coral. The coral structures are tree-like, growing up to a foot high and an inch thick. The process of coral formation takes many years, and it is harvested only when fully matured.
Major Coral Sources:
Coral is primarily found along the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, especially near Algeria, Tunisia, Corsica, Sardinia, and Sicily. It is also obtained from the Japanese islands and Spain's coast, with dark red corals being particularly prized.
Physical Properties:
Corals are typically opaque, but some can be semi-transparent. They come in white, pink, orange, red, and black. Black coral differs from others in that it is made of a horn-like substance instead of calcium carbonate. Coral fibers run perpendicular to the length of each branch, giving it a unique texture. The relative density of coral is 2.65, with a hardness of 3.5 to 4. Coral reacts with hydrochloric acid by foaming, while black coral remains unaffected. Burning black coral with a heated wire produces a hair-like smell.
Testing Genuine Coral:
1. Genuine coral, when dipped in blood, will cause the blood to thicken around it.
