Red Coral is an organic gemstone, known as Moonga (Munga) in Hindi. Unlike mineral gemstones, Coral is formed under the sea by marine organisms, making it an opaque and organic gem.

In Vedic astrology, Red Coral represents the planet Mars (Mangal)—the planet of energy, courage, strength, action, blood, ambition, and authority.

Red Coral is worn to strengthen Mars and to reduce the negative effects of Mangal Dosha.
