• Gemstone type: Organic gemstone

• Composition: Primarily calcium carbonate

• Color: Red to reddish-orange

• Hardness: Approximately 3–4 on the Mohs scale

Because Coral is relatively soft, it requires careful handling and protection from scratches, chemicals and strong impacts.

There is no established scientific evidence that wearing Red Coral produces astrological, medical or financial benefits.

Astrological gemstone suitability is traditionally determined from the complete birth chart.

Who Should Consult an Astrologer?

The suitability may depend on the position and influence of Mars in the individual's horoscope.

How to Wear Red Coral

Traditional astrological practices may recommend specific metals, fingers, gemstone weights, days and timings.
