Mars (Mangala), the commander of all planets, governs the color red along with weaponry, warfare, automation, construction, and real estate. It is a powerful planet with a metal element and rules the vital energy of life.  When channelized correctly, it confers high energy, grit, determination, bravado, and motivation. 

An exalted Mars encourages to be positive towards charitable causes. It propels fame and increases your abilities to do more for society. It builds a great mindset, helps fight fears, and fortifies the body and mind. 

However, an opposed position of Mars will lead to anger issues, erratic and destructive behavior, violent outbursts, and physical ailments.

Red Moonga emits yellow cosmic color waves that nurture concentration, empowerment, warmth, and intellect. It can benefit the wearer in the following manner. 

Power: Mars cultivates leadership qualities and helps obtain an influential position of power. It elevates those in national security, administrative, and civil services.

Social Causes: It encourages the wearer to contribute to social causes and lend their voices to those lesser fortunate. 

Leadership: It awards positions of power to those up for challenges. As it represents physical energies, it propels the wearer in the direction of ambition and authority.
 
Well-Being: It helps controlling health issues like blood pressure and anemia. It also helps in anger management by toning the irritability and aggression. It improves learning and behavior by channeling the pent up energy effectively. 

Relationships: Mars is associated with brotherhood, and wearing a  red coral supports the bonding of brothers. 

Business: Marsis the son of the earth. Hence, wearing red coral benefits people from realty, construction, asset management, oil and refinery, and their ilk. 

Italy and Japan are the ideal sources of Red Corals. Corals come in three shapes, namely triangle, capsule, and oval. The cost and quality depend upon good shape, color, caratage, and cut along with the place of origin and treatment.

Colour – Red corals come in light orange to deep red hues. More often, the color is maybe the deciding factor for corals, and the choice depends on your astrological requirements.

Clarity – Coral is a marine byproduct and has visible surface markings like groove pits, woodgrain effects, and striations. Red corals without any inclusions, dents, or spots are easy to find  & hence are not much costly as other gemstones.

Caratage – Corals are not challenging to find in higher caratage but price increasing with size depending on the quality of coral. So, a two-carat gemstone would be one fourth the price of a four-carat in the same quality. Due to the easy availability of smaller sizes than the bigger ones, the more the carat weight, the higher the stone's cost. 

Place of Origin – The most delicate red corals used for astrological purposes come from Italy and Japan.

Treatment – One should be aware of the many treated corals readily available in the market like powdered corals, dyed corals, synthetic corals & glass(imitation). Due to their strong resemblance to the natural coral, it is possible to get fleeced. Hence an appropriate lab certification for your red coral is advisable to ensure the gemstone you purchase is the right quality.

Certification – We are stringent with our quality standards and assure you of the best gemstones. Our Red Corals come with a Private Lab Certificate. We can also provide a higher lab certificate like the GII or IGI at extra cost if required. Some of our gemstones are readily certified from both, GII (Gemological institute of India)  or IGI (International Gemological Institute)

Do note that the lab will certify all types of red corals as 'Natural Red corals' only in the title. However, in the remarks or inclusions section, they may mention the effervescence effect or woodgrain effect, depending on the various lab's marking parameters. 

If the remark/comment sections 'Indication of dye’ means coral is dyed with color, ‘reconstructed’ in case of powder coral (made from coral powder), ‘Glass/ imitation / synthetic’ in case of lab-made.
