[About red coral] This is a type of coral collected in the waters near Japan, and is different from the coral collected in the Mediterranean Sea. There is always a white part called Shirofu in the center of the log, and it is cut to avoid showing it as much as possible, but white parts often appear on the back side of balls and loose pieces. It has a sense of transparency, and when carefully polished, it has a beautiful luster, as if covered with a transparent film. The dark color is red with a slight purplish tinge, giving it a noble feel. The most valuable type is the one with a particularly deep color, called blood red, and the area off the coast of Kochi Prefecture is especially rich. *This is a general explanation, and there are exceptions even within the same type. [About precious coral] In general, what is processed into jewelry and called coral is made by polishing the bone shaft of a living creature called coral. Corals are in the same family as jellyfish and sea anemones, and are divided into six-toothed coralline and eight-toothed corallines, depending on the number of polyp tentacles. There are two types of coral: hard coral, which has a hard bone axis, and soft coral, which does not have a bone axis. Because the shaft of the six-point coral is brittle, eight-point coral is used as jewelry, but most corals are soft corals that do not have a hard shaft, and only some types are processed into jewelry. Precious coral is also worn overseas as a talisman for safe childbirth and for the growth of a child. Coral takes many years to grow, so it may have been worn since ancient times as a symbol of longevity and healthy growth. In Japan, coral is also given as a souvenir for 35th wedding anniversaries, and red coral is especially great as a 60th birthday present.Since coral is the birthstone of March, it is also a great birthday present for those born in March.
