Coral Horn
Coral jewelry has been found in ancient Egyptian and prehistoric European burials and was especially popular during the Victorian age. Ancient Egyptians used coral pieces in tombs as protection against evil spirits in the afterworld, as it is believed to contain a drop of divine blood. There was significant trade in coral between the Mediterranean and India at the beginning of the first millennium.
The Gauls often used coral as ornamentation for their helmets and weapons in the belief that it was a protective stone. The Romans hung branches of coral around the necks of their children to protect them from danger. In the early 20th century, the people of Italy used coral for protection from the "evil eye" and for infertility.
Precious coral or red coral is the common name given to Corallium rubrum and several related species of marine coral. In the trade, Corallium rubrum is sometimes referred to as "noble coral" and is considered to be the most desirable type of coral for jewelry.
Horn Coral is a fossilized Rugose coral that lived from the Ordovician to Permian Time, and was so-named because it resembles a wrinkled, horn-shaped tube. It is composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Colors can include red, tan, gray, blue and black.
Horn Coral may help balance the emotions, absorb negativity and relieve depression. A soothing and protective stone, one can use Horn Coral to tap into ancient knowledge when learning a new spiritual tradition.
Physically, Horn Coral, like all corals, may alleviate weakness in the bones from osteoporosis and brittle bone disease. It can also help with carpal tunnel syndrome, hearing disorders and the care of the muscular/skeletal system.
