Coral is another stone formed from
organic material.
In this case, it is the skeletons of many sea creatures.
Coral can be found all around the world in our oceans. Ancient cultures revered
coral for its medical benefits and its beauty. The ancients attributed much
religious significance to coral as well. Coral comes in a nearly infinite
number of shapes, and the colors range almost as widely—from white to black.
The different colors of coral have different properties:
-pink is comforting;
-red is invigorating;
-gray brings accord;
-black absorbs energy;
-white brings constancy.
Coral abets the bones and the blood and
is a cleanser, good for inner organs and mental processes. Edgar Cayce used it
to pacify and soothe. Since coral is made up of many generations of organisms,
it is a gateway to the past. Because it was so readily available—by washing up
on shore and being easily harvested from the seas—ancient man believed sailors
could calm the waters with it. It was commonly worn as an amulet or pendant,
with the most powerful coral having been freshly taken from the ocean unbroken.
The ancients believed the living being remained inside the coral until it was
broken, giving it enormous power. Moonlight is supposed to intensify the
healing power of coral. Use the color guidelines above to help you choose the
coral you need at any given time. You should provide yourself with an entire
wardrobe of corals in all shades. Wear a red coral necklace to rid yourself of
a chest cold; wear gray if you are squabbling with your mate. Wear white if you
need more “Zen” in your world.
