Coral
 Found in a range of colours - white,
red, black to blue, and brown, although red is considered the
most sought after colour. Not any type of coral can be to create
the red jewellery we all know. Only two types; corallium rubrum
and corallium japonicum. Found in the Mediterranean sea - off
the coat of Australia, the South Pacific, the waters of Japan
and Africa.
Coral is chemically similar to pearls and has been known to
grow as tall as 40cm, with branches 4cm thick. It is polished
to create the coral jewellery we see in shops. Once believed
to be a plant, coral is actually made up of living animals called
'polyps'. Coral is the accumulated skeletal masses from these
polyps.

perfume. Also take care from hard blows and bright light. Any
chemicals would certainly have an effect on a piece of coral.

Found in Celtic tombs and a symbol of wealth in China. Used by
