Gemological point: coral is a gem of organic origin. Only the branched calcareous trunks of certain corals are used in jewellery. Its colour is due to organic pigments close to carotene: varying from blood red to white, passing by the pink “angel skin”. For a long time it was traditional to offer coral necklaces to infants to protect them from diseases. Coral was reputed to be protective, especially in the Mediterranean basin, in Italy and Corsica in particular.
