Formation: Coral is formed by tiny marine animals called coral polyps, which secrete calcium carbonate to create a hard exoskeleton. Over time, these exoskeletons accumulate and form coral reefs. When the polyps die, their skeletons remain, and through natural processes, they become fossilized and eventually turn into coral gemstones.
-
Varieties: There are several varieties of coral, with the most common being red coral and white coral. Red coral, also known as precious coral or Corallium rubrum, is prized for its deep red or pinkish-red color. White coral, on the other hand, is usually a pale white or cream color and is less commonly used in jewelry.
-
Color: The color of coral can vary depending on factors such as species, location, and environmental conditions. While red coral is the most well-known and sought-after variety, coral gemstones can also be found in shades of pink, orange, and even black.
