The Complete Guide
Red Coral (Moonga or Praval) is the gemstone of Mars (Mangal) in Vedic astrology. Mars governs physical energy, courage, property, siblings, and the martial spirit. A strong Mars in the chart produces drive, leadership in action, and physical vitality; a weak Mars can manifest as lethargy, accidents, or disputes over property. Red Coral is an organic gemstone — it is the skeletal material of marine coral organisms (Corallium rubrum and related species). Mediterranean Coral from Italy is considered the finest, with a rich ox-blood red colour and dense structure. Japanese Coral (Aka Coral) is also well-regarded. Coral should be deep red, free of white spots or surface pitting, and unbleached. It should not be confused with bamboo coral or dyed coral, which are far less valuable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who should wear Red Coral (Moonga)?
Those with Mars as their lagna lord or in favourable positions per BPHS. Aries and Scorpio ascendants benefit most. Red Coral is also worn for Manglik dosha (consult an astrologer for this use). It is helpful during Mars mahadasha or antardasha.
How do I know if my Red Coral is genuine?
Genuine Red Coral has a uniform deep-red colour, fine grain structure, and slight translucency. It should be certified by an independent gemological lab. Dyed coral, bamboo coral, and coral simulants (glass, plastic) are common in the market. At Jeevan Ratna, every piece is independently certified.
What is the minimum weight for Red Coral?
BPHS recommends a minimum of 6 ratti (approximately 5.4 carats) for Red Coral. Heavier, high-quality pieces are generally considered more effective. The stone must be completely natural, unbleached, and undyed.
