Brief description
A natural piece of Black Coral forms the body of this alluring bracelet. Black coral has been harvested
for millennia to be used as jewels and amulets specially imbued with sacred meaning and for its
health giving properties. Early peoples of many cultures believed that black coral helped ward off evil
and injury. The Latin name for Black Coral is ‘antipathes subpinnata’. In Latin the name, antipathes,
actually means “against suffering”. Early Polynesians ground black coral branches into a medicinal
powder that was ingested to cure illness. |
