Red Bamboo Coral 3x7mm Side/Top Drilled Rounded Teardrop Beads - 16 inch strand

Coral is a hot pink or red precious gemstone made from biological marine life, unlike most gemstones that are made of minerals. There are hundreds of unique species of coral that make up coral reefs, but only a few variations are used in jewelry design. Coral is most often harvested off the coasts of Australia, Japan, and smaller Pacific islands like the Philippines. Metaphysically, Coral is believed to hold healing properties that support vitality, physical wellbeing, and energy.
