Coral

Coral is a deep water coral that forms in rocky seabeds with low levels of sedimentation, typically in dark environments of over 500 feet deep, including caverns and crevices. Coral typically exhibits a range of warm pinkish to red colors, including light-red to salmon (momo coral), and medium-red (Sardegna coral) to deep ox-blood red (moro coral); color is known to fade when worn. Noble coral has the most desirable uniform color, but can often exhibit streaks or spots of white to pinkish red, especially angel skin coral.
