The oldest known findings of red coral date from the Mesopotamian civilization, about 3000 BC.
Red coral has traditionally been used as a protection from the "evil eye" - It has been used as a form of protective magic for children for hundreds of years. Coral is used as a cure for sterility and for the elderly, it is used as a cure for arthritis.
Coral is considered a representative of the warm energy of the Sun, and the southern direction.
