The existence of coral for adornment, as well as it's great demand in our world, dates back over ten thousand years. Coral is known to be used as a gem since prehistoric times. Coral has a history of religious meaning and is one of the seven treasures in Buddhist scriptures. Coral was long thought to be a strong talisman against bleeding, evil spirits, and hurricanes. The term for this coral is "Moorish or Oxblood Jewelry." Quality coral is also referred to as red gold.
