The Red Coral Cylindrical (SKU: RC-02) is a 5.25 carat natural Red Coral gemstone cut in the traditional cylindrical form, known as Praval or Moonga in classical texts. The cylindrical shape is one of the time-honoured cuts for coral in Indian jewellery, often set in copper or gold and worn as a ring on the ring finger of the right hand according to Vedic practice. Red Coral is an organic gemstone formed by marine organisms, giving it a unique warmth and texture distinct from mineral stones. This piece is suited to those who wish to wear their planetary gemstone in a classical, unobtrusive setting.
Red Coral (Moonga/Praval) is the planetary gemstone of Mars (Mangal) in Vedic astrology. Mars is associated with energy, physical strength, ambition, and decisive action. Wearing Red Coral is believed, per classical Jyotish, to enhance the constructive qualities of a well-placed Mars and provide courage and drive to the wearer. It is associated with the rashis Mesha (Aries) and Vrishchika (Scorpio). An astrologer's confirmation of Mars's placement in the individual birth chart is strongly recommended before wearing this stone.
