Since the beginning of the 1st millennium, coral has been highly prized as a gem because it was believed to have mysterious, powerful and sacred properties. The Gauls often used coral gems as ornamentation for their helmets and weapons, believing that it was a protective stone. Ancient Egyptians also placed coral in tombs of the deceased to protect against evil spirits because they believed each coral gem actually contained divine blood.

The Romans hung branches of coral around the necks of their children to protect them from danger. In the early 20th century, the people of Italy used coral for protection from the ‘evil eye’ and many Italians used it for infertility. Among the Hopi and Zuni tribes, the ‘road of life’ is symbolized by coral, jet, abalone and turquoise (the four elements).

Reddish and orange colored coral stones are thought to benefit the root and spleen chakras by providing energy and warmth.
