Coral is one of the important organic gemstones, and it is also a favorite gemstone in ancient and modern times. The ancient Romans believed that corals have the function of preventing disasters, giving people wisdom, stopping bleeding and promoting heat. The Tibetan medicines in China's Tibet also show the appearance of corals, which are highly cherished jewelry gems.
Coral is the only life-threatening millennium in jewellery. It is charming, shiny, crystal clear and warm. Three organic gems in the West: coral, pearl and amber; Oriental Buddhism seven treasures: gold, silver, amber, coral, enamel, glaze, agate. In ancient times, corals were regarded as a happy thing of auspiciousness, representing nobleness and power, also known as “Ruibaoâ€, a symbol of happiness and eternity.
Corals grow deep in the sea between 200 and 2000 meters, making mining extremely difficult. The coral is 20 inches long and only one kilogram in three hundred years. For thousands of years, it is still standing still. For this reason, coral has become the unique Millennium Baby in people's minds.
Corals are calcareous bones secreted by corals, so the texture is generally loose, and the corals that can reach the gem-grade processing density are rare and extremely precious. Up to now, valuable corals have not been produced by artificial breeding methods. Their survival and growth conditions are affected and restricted by many factors of the natural environment, such as: sunlight, sea water temperature and water pressure, seawater salt concentration, current velocity, food abundance Degree and health are closely related; due to the increasingly serious marine pollution and the difficulty of collecting deep seas, the collection of valuable corals is becoming less and less, showing its rarity and preciousness.
There are many types of corals, including white corals, light pink or dark corals, and pink corals. Black corals (ie, sea trees) can be seen in Hawaii. Among them, red coral, blue coral and black coral are the most precious. Take red coral as an example. There is a saying called "Millennium Coral Red." Red coral is expensive because of its slow growth, long life, strong texture, bright color and scarce production. In the mid-16th century, the red coral trade on the Mediterranean coast was very prosperous, creating many of the most valuable red coral art masterpieces. In today's world, the harvest of red corals is between 100 tons and 400 tons per year, and the price is usually several times or even several times that of gold. In many auctions, the price of red coral works is also prohibitively high. When the coral is made into beautiful ornaments or carved into famous works of art, its value is doubled. The good red coral necklace is worth several thousand yuan, and the highest can reach tens of thousands of yuan. In particular, some of the finest valuable corals produced in the Taiwan Strait of China are a unique national treasure that our country has.
From an artistic and cultural point of view, a coral sculpture works with the challenge of difficulty in creating it no less than any other art work. Each coral has a different shape and must be carefully designed by craftsmen, conceived and crafted to become a craft, so each piece of coral is unique and unique. For this reason, people are keen on the collection of valuable coral art, and its price is also reasonable. The Louvre Museum in France has a collection of many coral boutiques, and many museums in our country also have rich coral collections.
