Red Coral is derived from corallum, the colonial coral of aquatic plants found in deep rocky sea-bottoms. Known as Moonga, these pink, orange, and deep red corals astrologically represent the red planet Mars (Mangala). In Vedic Astrology, Mars is also known as Bhoomi Putra, the son of Mother Earth, and Angaraka, the son of Shiva. Red Coral is an embodiment of this planet’s fiery energy that personifies strength, power, passion, and courage for the wearer.
