Red Coral (Moonga) Triangle-Apple Loose Gemstone

Red Coral (Moonga) sold as a loose gemstone, so you can choose the weight and the setting yourself.

This is a loose red coral, not a finished piece of jewellery; no metal setting is included. Weight options: 3 Ratti to 18 Ratti (16 options). The listing describes the tone as red apple red; gems vary, so ask for a daylight photo if the exact shade matters. Weights step from 3 Ratti to 18 Ratti, and larger weights mean a larger stone.

About red coral

Triangular cuts are distinctive and are usually held in prong or bezel settings. Red coral (Moonga) is an organic gem in warm red tones. In Vedic tradition it is the gem of Mangal (Mars). It is soft and sensitive to acids and perfume. In Vedic practice a gemstone is normally chosen after a chart review by a qualified astrologer, since suitability depends on the individual horoscope. Tradition attaches meaning to the gem, but no result is promised.

FAQs

How do I pick a weight?

The right weight comes down to budget, how large you want the stone to look and, if you follow astrology, your astrologer's guidance. There is a familiar body-weight rule for Ratti, but astrologers do not all follow it.

Should I wear it without consulting an astrologer?

Gemstone astrology holds that the right stone depends on your chart. Consulting first is common practice, and an astrological report is available on Brahmatells.

Is there a lab certificate?

No certification is listed here. Ask us before ordering if a lab report matters for this stone.
