Coral has a long and rich history. Red coral has been found in Neolithic graves, two thousand years ago was much sought-after by the Chinese. The Ancient Greeks preferred black coral, while in some African countries, red coral beads signified wealth. Few gem materials have been believed to have such powers as coral, both talismanic and medicinal. It was thought that coral could cure madness, could strengthen babies’ teeth, and that it turned pale when worn by someone who was sick. A piece of coral above the door of a house would protect its inhabitants, or its wearer from being struck by lightning.
