Corals are groups of polyps or fossilized bones that are made up of two parts, inorganic and organic, and the name comes from the Old Persian language. Common colors of inorganic corals range from light pink to deep red, orange, white, rarely black, and occasionally blue and purple. Organic () corals – corals composed almost entirely of organic matter, common species such as black coral and golden coral.

The polyp is a marine cylindrical coelenterate, food enters through the mouth, food residue is excreted from the mouth, it feeds on the small plankton in the ocean, and can absorb calcium and carbon dioxide from the seawater during its growth, and then secrete limestone, which becomes its own survival shell.

Origin of color: In the deep sea where red coral is distributed, there is a large amount of volcanic activity on the bottom of the sea, which provides a lot of volcanic ash material, which contains a certain amount of macro and trace elements. When a coral dies, it becomes a coral stone, which is a process of being replaced by a calcium carbonate substance, which is called calcification. In the process of calcification, the coral adsorbs various elements in the seawater, if the adsorbed elements are mainly iron, the color of the coral stone is red, if the adsorbed elements are mainly magnesium, and a little iron, then the color of the coral stone will be pink or pinkish. If the adsorbed element is mainly magnesium and there are almost no other impurities, then the color of the coral stone may be white, and the pure white coral gemstone in the deep sea is also a rare treasure.

Corals will have different colors according to the growth environment, most of them are red, colorful are rare, and colorful is the best of the best.

In reality, coral is a symbol of good luck and wealth, and has always been used to make precious crafts. Red coral, along with amber and pearls, is collectively known as organic gemstones. In some dynasties, in the ritual of the asahi period, the pearls made of red coral were often worn. Coral also has the effect of nourishing beauty and invigorating blood and brightening the eye, and is a precious medicinal material of traditional Chinese medicine.

Red coral culture has a long history in China, India, and Indian traditional culture, especially the Indian indigenous peoples and Chinese Tibetan and other nomadic peoples are more fond of red coral, and even use red coral as a sustenance for self-protection and prayer for the blessing of "God (Emperor)". According to historical records, the use of red coral by humans dates back to ancient Roman times. The ancient Romans believed that coral had the function of preventing disasters, giving wisdom, stopping bleeding and driving away heat, and some navigators believed that wearing red coral could prevent lightning and hurricanes, make the wind and waves calm, and make the journey safe! As a result, the Romans called it "red gold", which gave the red coral a mysterious color. Modern Westerners rank coral as one of the three major organic gemstones, along with pearls and amber, and are one of the "March birthstones" in the West.
