Bright red orange coral beads, large, antique RARE
String of authentic antique red orange coral beads. 35 coral beads, a number of them individually measuring as large as 1" (2.54cm) long by 3/4" (1.9cm) in diameter.
The full length of the beads measured continguously from end to end is approximately 26" (66.05cm). The weight of the bead string is 1 pound and 10.75 ounces (.758 kilograms).
Genuine coral, particularly red-orange coral as intense in color as these beads has become extremely rare due to over-harvesting due to the demand for this intensely colored coral in jewelry making, along with environmental factors contributing to a worldwide decline in coral reefs.
Interesting facts about coral:
" LEGEND and LORE: The oldest known findings of red coral date from the Mesopotamian civilization, i.e. from about 3000 BC. For centuries, this was the coral par excellence, and at the time of Pliny the Elder it was apparently much appreciated in India, even more than in Europe. Red coral has traditionally been used as a protection from the "evil eye" and as a cure for sterility. One of the Greek names for Coral was Gorgeia, from the tradition that blood dripped from the Head of Medea, which Perseus had deposited on some branches near the sea-shore; which blood, becoming hard, was taken by the Sea Nymphs, and planted in the sea.
MAGICAL PROPERTIES: Coral is associated with Venus, Isis and Water. It has been used as a form of protective magic for children for hundreds of years. Cunningham recommends it as a luck-attractor for living areas. Sailors use it as a protection from bad weather while at sea. Red-orange coral is one of the four element gemstones of the Pueblo Indians. It is one of the four colors used for the directions in the Hopi/Zuni Road of Life. Coral is considered a representative of the warm energy of the Sun, and the southern direction.
HEALING: Coral's healing properties are mostly associated with Women, young children and the elderly. For women it is said to increase fertility and regulate menstruation. For young children, it is recommended to ease teething and to prevent epilepsy. For the elderly, it is used as a cure for arthritis."
This string of coral beads can be customized to form a necklace. Wear it as a display of your fine taste. It may well hold the unforgettable mystical experience that you are looking for.
