[Product Description] The color is beautiful, but there are stripes that appear during the growth process. *Chain is separate.
[About Garne Coral] This type of coral was collected near the Hawaiian Islands and the Midway Islands, and because it is no longer collected, the amount in circulation is decreasing year by year. At that time, logs collected by Japanese ships were collected in Kochi and put up for bid.
It is relatively transparent and ranges in color from white to light pink, and as it gets darker, it becomes an orange-like salmon pink. It does not have a distinct white color like red or peach, but even though the surface is pink, the color becomes white towards the center of the trunk. Therefore, even loose clothing often has a white part on the back side. It is sometimes collectively called pink coral along with other types.
*This is a general explanation, and there are exceptions even within the same type.
[About gemstone coral] In general, corals that are processed as gemstones are made by polishing the bone shafts produced by living creatures called corals.
Coral takes many years to grow, so it may have been worn since ancient times as a symbol of longevity and healthy growth. Even overseas, coral is worn as a talisman for safe childbirth and for the growth of a child. In Japan, red coral is also given as a souvenir for the 35th wedding anniversary, and red coral is given as a 60th birthday celebration. Coral is the birthstone for March, so it makes a great birthday gift for those born in March.
[About taking care of coral] Coral's main component is calcium carbonate, which is sensitive to acidic substances, and if sweat remains on it, it will gradually lose its luster. Please wipe it with a soft cloth after use. Coral is a gemstone that requires a lot of work, but I think it will make you love it, so please treat it like your own child.
