black coral

Black coral is a marine mineral. At its core, it is a petrified skeleton of living organisms, namely, polyps. A similar shade of the mineral is considered one of the rarest, and therefore the most expensive. However, not only the appearance of black coral attracts buyers.

Jewelry with hardened polyps has a special energy power, which manifests itself in healing and magical properties. Thus, black coral is not only an ideal material for making jewelry, but also a powerful amulet that reliably protects its owner from illness and trouble.

Description

Black polyps live at great depths - over 100 meters. They absolutely cannot tolerate sunlight, so its extraction is associated with danger and risk to life. If coral reefs are located closer to the surface of the water, then they usually hide in underwater caves and grottoes.

The main habitat of these organisms is the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific region. One of the conditions for the formation and life of black polyps is that the water temperature should not be lower than 21 ° C and at the same time remain stable. In the seas and oceans, where cold water is observed, polyps simply do not survive, and do not exist.

Black coral is listed in the Red Book as a rare species of marine fauna.

All black corals are organisms that grow in colonies. That is, they have one common body, with a single nervous and digestive systems. Already from this base, numerous coral bushes are formed, some of which sometimes reach a length of up to 6 meters. The shape of the processes can be different: from even polyps, branched to spiral.

Black coral has the same characteristics as its "brothers" in other shades:

• hardness - 2-3 points out of 10 on the Mohs scale;
• lack of cleavage;
• matte gloss;
• opacity;
• porosity, the presence of small defects.

Since black corals are characterized by a low growth rate, and the "hunt" for them is quite intense, many states have banned not only the extraction of the mineral, but also its export from their country.

Properties of black coral

Acquaintance of mankind with black coral happened many centuries ago. For example, the Maya Indians wore the mineral as an ornament, putting the mineral around their neck in the form of beads. Then they believed that such an amulet protects its owner from everything negative, including evil spirits. In addition, corals were credited with an amazing ability to attract good luck, fill a person with vital energy and positive emotions.
