Coral Pendant [Red]

Coral has been used as amulets for thousands of years, and was considered to be very powerful.

In classical mythology it was said that coral grew from the blood of Medusa.

In ancient Rome, amulets of coral were thought to staunch bleeding and protect children from illness. Coral was also used by ancient mariners to protect them when they sailed the oceans.

In medieval times it was believed that the only way to cross a river was to carry a piece of red or white coral. Worn as a talisman it also had the power to shield against the weather, cure madness, and imbue the wearer with wisdom.Unbroken branches were considered the most powerful.
