Pavizham stone, widely renowned as red coral stone or Moonga ratna, a vibrant red color organic gemstone celebrated for its bold red to orange hues and profound astrological significance. Formed majorly by marine coral polyps, Pavizham stone belongs to the calcium carbonate family, distinguishing it from traditional mineral gemstones. With a Mohs hardness of 3–4, it requires careful craftsmanship, making it ideal for striking jewelry pieces like pendants, rings, and earrings. Its warm, fiery tones symbolize vitality, courage, and protection, cherished in Indian and Mediterranean traditions for centuries. Our Pavizham stones, sourced from premium regions like Italy and Japan, are certified by leading labs such as GIA and IGI for authenticity and quality.
In Vedic astrology and Western astrology, Pavizham or pavalam stone is associated with Mars (Mangal), the planet of vigorous energy, anger, and ambition. It is strongly believed to rectify Mangal dosh and strengthen marital relationship, boost confidence, enhance physical strength, and ward off negative influences, making it particularly beneficial for Aries and Scorpio zodiac signs. This gemstone is also thought to promote health and resilience, improve blood circulation though astrological consultation is recommended to ensure compatibility.
