Because of it auspiciousness, the coral, through not a precious stone, has been given a coverted place in Navaratnas. A good coral is opaque red, is perfectly round or oval and regular; is smooth, and gives out lovely splendorous. It is flawed if it is spotted, cracked, has more than one shade of color or the surface is anyway depressed or twisted.
