Japanese Red Coral
Japanese Red Coral, also known as Japanese Moonga ratna, primarily harvested from the sea waters around Japan's coastal regions, particularly the Ogasawara and Ryukyu Islands, is a prized marine resource scientifically classified under the Coralliidae family, genus Corallium. Unlike tropical reef-building corals, this deep-sea, precious coral thrives at depths of 100 to 1,500 meters in low-light, cold-water environments (4–12°C). Its vibrant red to pinkish skeleton, composed of calcium carbonate with an organic matrix, owes its hue to carotenoid pigments, making it a coveted material in high-end jewelry and decorative arts.
The Japanese red coral stone slow growth rate (in terms of size)—0.5 to 2 mm per year in diameter—renders it a non-renewable resource, as colonies can take decades to centuries to mature. Harvesting involves specialized dredging or submersible operations, regulated tightly by Japan’s government to curb overexploitation. The skeleton’s hardness (3.5–4 on the Mohs scale) and fine, uniform texture allow intricate carving, often seen in traditional netsuke or beads. Chemically, it contains 85% calcium carbonate, with trace magnesium and organic compounds enhancing durability.
Japanese coral represents the Planet Mars in eastern and western astrology. Sustainability concerns loom large on Japanese corals as illegal harvesting and climate-induced ocean changes threaten populations. Japanese Red Coral’s allure lies in its rarity, vivid color, and centuries-old craftsmanship legacy, but its future hinges on stringent conservation.
Japanese Moonga Price
Japanese red coral (also known as Akabana coral) is a luxurious organic gemstone prized for its rich, vibrant red hue and smooth, lustrous finish. Sourced primarily from the deep waters off Japan’s coast, this rare coral is highly sought after for fine jewelry, especially in Asian markets where it symbolizes prosperity, protection, and good fortune. Japanese red coral prices typically range from $50 to $300 per carat, with premium grades—featuring deep ox-blood red color, high density, and flawless surface—commanding even higher rates. Factors like size, shape, uniformity, and craftsmanship in beads or carvings significantly impact value.
Due to slow growth and environmental protections, genuine natural Japanese pavalam stone is becoming increasingly scarce, boosting its exclusivity and investment appeal. With rising demand in luxury fashion and spiritual jewelry, authentic pieces are best purchased with certification to verify origin and quality. Whether in necklaces, earrings, or amulets, Japanese red coral offers timeless elegance and cultural significance in every piece.

"This place has an incredible selection of gemstones—the best I’ve seen around. It definitely helps if you know what you’re looking for and have some knowledge about gems, but Harsh is great at guiding you to the right choice. I highly recommend this shop for gem shopping! It’s a little off the beaten path, but absolutely worth it. The prices are reasonable for the quality, and they even managed to set the gems I chose into a pendant and ring in less than a day."
