The Coral is calcium carbonate, formed from the skele- tons of very small sea-creatures of one inch lond found in the coastal rocks and the sands in the beaches. Larger ones of about two feet are seem swimming in the seas. A gum-like substance oozes from the small lumps on the bodies of these creatures and transforms into coral. The creatures named as ISIS-NOBILES which generates corals look like a small plant with leaves and stems. The raw coral are cut to required size and shape- generally oval or round, using special machines. There are some factories in Italy, Germany, Geneva and other places, employing thousands of workers mostly woman for cutting these stones. The great Australian Red coral was found in the Red Sea. Once some blue corals were found in west African coasts but now no where to be seen. In an exhibition held in Berlin in the 1880 a coral rosary was offered for sale for 6000 pounds.

Coral is regarded as a powerful gem, even in the western countries. Some religious persons in Rome and other places wear beads of Red coral, with a strong belief that they protect from danger, accident, thunder bolts, fire, poison, evil spirits, sorcery, enemity and some diseases. It is believed that the coral looses its color and lustre and becomes pale, when the wearer becomes sick and regains its color and brightness when he recov- ers.
