Red approx. 6mm round real coral beads with genuine turquoise guru bead. Light Red Coral has been treasured for centuries by Tibetan Buddhists, and is considered by them to be the most precious natural "stone," and the supreme mala material. Tibetan Coral is often very old and fossilized, and each bead quite costly. There is a ban on harvesting new Mediterranean Red Coral, as the reefs have been greatly disturbed and are endangered, so we cannot offer new red coral.

We offer pink real Coral previously harvested from the Pacific (not endangered as the Mediterranean Red Coral). All coral that has been harvested is increasing in value, and is very precious, as it will not always be available once the "lots" are sold.

Our Coral has been slightly color enhanced to bring out the richness red coral. These beads are very lovely, round and very regular, and are stabilized to hold the color well. (Please note that all real coral is inherently porous, and should not be considered a defect)

Deep red, in Tibetan Buddhism is associated with the Padma family which represents compassionate and passionate energy. Coral Malas are particularly auspicious for any red deity meditation practice such as Red Tara, Vajrayogini (Dorje Naljorma) or Dorje Pagmo. You'll love our reasonably priced real coral mala! Complimentary Silk Mala Bag included!
