White Corals (Safed Moonga)

White corals, like pearls, are organic gemstones formed by marine organisms called coral polyps. These skeletal remains of coral colonies are valued for their durability and smooth, milky-white appearance. Commonly used in jewellery, ornamental carvings, and Vedic astrology, white corals possess a subtle elegance that appeals to both collectors and spiritual practitioners.

White corals are primarily sourced from the Mediterranean Sea, the Pacific Ocean, and the coasts of Japan, Australia, and Taiwan. The finest specimens are distinguished by their uniform color, smooth texture, and natural luster, making them highly sought after in both jewellery-making and astrological applications.

In Vedic astrology, white corals are associated with Mars, much like their red counterparts. They are believed to enhance courage, confidence, and physical strength while promoting mental clarity and emotional stability. White corals are often recommended for individuals seeking to balance Mars’s energy in their horoscope, providing protection from negativity and fostering resilience.
