What is Desi Moonga or Desi Munga? Italian Red Coral

The Italian Red Coral is referred to as the Desi MoongaThe Gemstone representing the positive powers of the planet Mars is called as the Red Coral. A gemstone of organic origin made in the sea by a marine polyp the red coral gemstone is called as Moonga or Munga in Hindi.

What is Desi Moonga or Desi Munga

The most common traded variety of Red Coral in India is the Italian red coral and the Italian Red coral in a crude way is referred to as the Desi Moonga or Desi Munga in India. This termÂ is primarily used in north India by traders to refer to Italian Red Coral and some astrologers to make the recommendation look fashionable, novel and different.

If your astrologer says you have to wear Desi Moonga only then there is something definitely wrong with either the intent or the recommendation. It can be one of the many gem scams and rubbish recommendations to influence consumer psyche.

Any Red Coral variety whether Japanese Red Coral or Italian will work well provided:

It is beautiful.
It is certified natural and organic using test techniques such as Raman Spectrography.
It is indicated in the horoscope.
It is free from any of the flaws that lead to bad results in the sacred texts.

Red Coral is often imitated and there is plastic and even camel bone masquerading as Red Coral.

Donâ€™t give undue weight age to terms such as Desi Moonga etc because in all probability these terms are used to influence in an incorrect way. Stick to the basics of what exactly is a Jyotish Gemstone and you shall get good results.

Gemologistâ€™s remarks and comments for the Red Coral ring featured today:

Featured today is a beautiful Red Coral ring set in silver teeming with the energy of the robust and active planet Mars. The cylindrical Red coral is of Italian origin and the first C that clearly makes a mark is the colour. Notice the video to see how highly saturated it is and its deep red shade. This shows excellence in sorting and picking. When a Gemologist is picking up a Gemstone He/She also makes an assessment how will the colour look once it is set in any metal and against any skin tone. Majority of the red corals from Italy tend towards the colour orange, a few rare ones are reddish orange and even fewer are reddish. Highly polished surface with mirror finish, all natural Red coral for planet mars that qualifies on all criteria of being a Jyotish Gemstone. This Ring shall deliver the promised results that only true Astrological Gemstones are capable of.

Powerful Mars energies in new Lot Kanti for Gemstoneuniverse Patrons

March 30, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Powerful Â Mars energies in new Lot Kanti for Gemstoneuniverse Patrons

Organic Red Corals from Italy for Mars Energies

Itâ€™s been a long time coming and we thank our dear patrons who waited so long and patiently to Get their Jyotish Quality Red Coral. Thank You for appreciating what we do!

Moving on there is a shortage of fine organic treatment free coral globally specially with the Japanese Coral which is no where to be found. We did examine manyÂ lots but either they were not Jyotish quality or were in a price band where the cost of procurement is close to the selling price of the Red Coral on the Gemstoneuniverse website.

For a Red Coral to be used as a Jyotish Gemstone The red Coral has to be:

1) Fully Natural and Organic. Precious Biogenic material.

2) Full treatment free with no fillers, wax or dye.

3) Should be free from flaws as listed in the sacred texts. For example one of the flaws is known as Duranga (literally translated having two shades of color). A duranga coral destroys wealth and property.

4) Should have an even pleasing surface and attractive color.

5) Created in the sea by marine polyp.

6) AND SHOULD NOT BE A CAMEL BONE OR PLASTIC. More about that here.

This Coral Lot fulfils all these criteria and is teeming with the Mars energies. Mars is the planet of health, vitality and courage and these essential elements are present in this lot. Aptly it has been christened- Kanti that means an inward flowing lustre.

These Corals are from the Mediterranean Sea off the course of Sardinia, these today are benchmark since the supply of the Japanese Red Coral is nearly non existent.

To understand that rarity of Organic Corals digest this fact- Coral Reefs live in just 0.1% of worldâ€™s ocean but they are the home of 25%Â of all marine species.

Precious Natural Red Coral – Five pointers to a Smart Buy

Precious Natural Red Coral – Five pointers to a Smart Buy

Natural Organic Red Coral

Precious coral is captivating gemstone – with its smooth surface and robust color, the gemstone is absolute imagery of vitality and symbolizes youthful vigor.

However, distinguishing precious coral from its look-alikes can be a hard task. For a layman the slick sales pitch and attractive form and designs can be overwhelming and could lead to a misjudged purchase. One has to be still more careful if the objective is planetary gem therapy. So how does one identify a precious coral? Here is a quick guide to a foolproof purchase –

– Nothing can replace lab certification. A good vendor will give you a certified gem that lists the verified properties of the specimen.

– Precious red coral measures 3.5 on Moh’s scale and has a specific gravity of 2.65- 2.68 which will be clearly stated on the certificate helping in identification. Precious red coral is an opaque gemstone, it has a refractive index of 1.48.

– Don’t get taken in by fancy names like Taiwanese coral. While previous coral does exist there, it faces a crisis as reefs are threatened by pollution. An entire plastic coral industry has come up which produces look-alikes that could confound anyone!

Available Easily Taiwan plastic coral – How do you distinguish?- Bamboo coral, which is also a coral found growing in the sea, but not precious coral is dyed and palmed off to unsuspecting buyers. Make sure you ask the right questions and do a minimum homework before making a valuable purchase.

Bamboo Coral- Precious red coral will display a wood grain texture under magnification, which may not show in case of resin filled, wax treated coral, as it would give a texture too good to be true.

A variety of techniques can be use to determine if the color of a piece of coral is dyed or is a fake. However, these techniques like acetone exposure or heating will destroy the specimen being tested! A lab report and a trusted source always hold the key to a good buy.

Featured today is a natural and organic red coral of 4.94 carats. The rich Mediterranean ox blood color of the coral and the smooth blemish free surface of the gem allow it to stand apart. The cabochon cut red coral is from Italy and meets all the criteria for a premium jyotish quality gem.

Natural red coral or moonga is the gemstone of planet Mars/ Mangal and is used to harness its extraordinary powers.

In other words, it is a gemstone suitable for Aries ascendant and Scorpio ascendant individuals. Red coral is an organic gemstone, which is actually the skeletal structure created by the secretion of calcium carbonate by the Coral polyps. Precious coral is increasingly hard to procure as indiscriminate harvesting of coral has endangered the existence of these reef builders. To appreciate how valuable a coral is and how difficult replenishing by nature is, it is vital to know that corals require a very specific habitat to thrive. Any distortion in the required conditions or imbalance in the typical ecosystem threatens their existence. Even in the optimum conditions, the coral grows quarter of an inch annually!

Sorting of Organic Red Corals

Italy was and remains of the largest hubs of coral trade as well as craftsmanship. The Jews of Italy at one point were masters of coral work. As they kept being displaced, the coral capital of the world shifted with them – from Trapani to Genoa, Livorno and Marseille. The Jews from Italy exported Coral mainly to India and Russia for ritualistic and metaphysical use of precious Red coral.

A well-placed Mars in an individuals birth chart can help one in achieveing the most difficult of feats in life. A talisman made of natural and organic red coral can help harness the energies of this planet.

Natural Red coral has been a favourite with the ancients, be it any civilization, for adornment as well as for healing and protective amulets. The knowledge of metaphysical properties of red coral can be traced quite far back in time. This might just give a clue as to why many Renaissance paintings have cherubs as infants who wear necklaces made of beads and a sprig of coral.

In Christian symbolism, the coral represented the blood of Christ, His passion and resurrection, and therefore its dual nature, human and divine. It is often found nestled in reliquaries and paintings of religious subjects that date back to five or six centuries.

The Romans were the first to practice the technique of engraving, a rather tedious task. They focused more on making coral olives and grains, called “paternoster” used for the production of rosaries.

If you are a natural Red Coral aficionado, there is a treasure house â€“ a real treat that awaits you at the Conte Agostino Pepoli Regional Museum, in Italy where Red art of Trapani’s “mastri curaddari” is celebrated. The creators of this art remained largely anonymous, but were adept in their skill as they brought out the best in coral by using alabaster, shells and mother of pearl. The works of Coral include nativity scenes, cultural artifacts and a crucifix by Brother Matthew (Matteo) Trapani Bavera carved from a single block of coral.
