Coral: Coral is the skeletal remains of marine animals called coral polyps. These are tiny creatures that live in colonies and build branching structures of calcium carbonate and the colonies grow to reefs and atolls. The surface of the coral branches can show the patterns made by the animals, sometimes striped or like a wood grain. Coral comes in several colors such as white, pink, salmon, and red which is the most valuable. The most precious coral is found in warm waters such as the coasts of Japan, around the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, and around Africa. In some areas, coral is said to protect children, and parents may give their young children a gift of coral. Coral polishes well, but is sensitive to heat, acids, cosmetics, and ultrasonic exposure.
