Red Coral (Moonga) is an organic gemstone formed from the skeletons of marine coral, and the gemstone of Mars in Vedic astrology. It is worn for courage, energy and confidence. Red Coral is a vivid red to orange-red (deep 'ox-blood' red is most prized). At The Gems Store we supply natural, untreated, lab-certified red coral to jewellers, astrologers and buyers across India at genuine trade prices.
Benefits of Red Coral
Worn to strengthen Mars (Mangal), red coral is traditionally believed to:
- Strengthens courage, drive and determination
- Boosts energy, stamina and confidence
- Believed to help overcome enemies, obstacles and delays
- Supports those in sports, defence, surgery, engineering and real estate
- Said to strengthen a weak or afflicted Mars (Mangal Dosha)
Who Should Wear Red Coral?
Red Coral is most suited to Aries (Mesh) and Scorpio (Vrishchik) ascendants, ruled by Mars. Leo, Sagittarius and Cancer natives may also benefit. It is often recommended for those facing Mangal Dosha or needing more drive and courage.
Quality & Price
An even, deep red colour and a smooth, well-polished surface free of pits, cracks and white patches indicate good quality. Italian (Mediterranean) 'ox-blood' coral is the most prized, followed by Japanese coral. Both red and orange-red tones are used astrologically.
Identifying a natural red coral: Genuine red coral is increasingly imitated by dyed or reconstituted material and plastic. Look for natural surface texture and buy with a certificate from a recognised lab confirming natural coral.
Price factors: Coral value depends on colour, surface quality, size and origin. Deep, even, unblemished Italian coral commands the highest prices; dyed or flawed material is much cheaper.
How to Wear Red Coral
Cleanse the ring in raw milk or Gangajal and wear it on the prescribed day and finger after chanting the mantra, ideally after consulting an astrologer.
