Coral, produced by tiny marine animals, is usually obtained from the Mediterranean Sea. Coral is available in a variety of colors. Native Americans have prized this gem for over four centuries. Red coral, sometimes called "precious coral," was believed to change color according to one's health, but only if the stone was not fashioned by man. Strings of coral were considered a gift of royal proportion in parts of Africa; the ancient Romans touted its curative powers.
