Why there is such a great variation in Red Coral gemstone prices?

Red coral stone prices are sensitive to origin, color, clarity, shape and treatment. In addition, astrological relevance and rare occurrence of some varieties, make them susceptible to even higher pricing. E.g. Japanese coral is rarer than Italian one and yet the later may come nearly expensive owing to its astrological popularity. Similarly, an Oxblood red coral draws more money than a faded or dull colored red coral. One must remember that price of red coral is collectively decided by the above parameters and any major or minor change in appearance, treatment or shape can increase or reduce the prices. At Gempundit, you can buy red coral online from a huge collection of original red corals certified by reputed national and international laboratories.

Why Japanese Red Coral is more expensive when Italian red coral is more effective for astrological use?

Japanese red corals have become exceedingly rare due to excessive extraction in the recent past and changes reported in their marine ecosystems because of pollution. Fine quality and limited availability make them expensive than other origins. Italian Red Coral on the other hand, is not only easily available but ranks equally good on luster, color saturation and clarity, which makes it fit for astrological use. Since both varieties can be used for astrological reasons, rarity of Japanese coral increases its value in the gemstone market.

How can I check the quality of Red Coral?

Quality of this gemstone depends on several factors. As a rule, high quality red coral displays minimum inclusions, smooth texture, bright red color and high luster. But before evaluating the quality of the stone, it is also important to understand customer’s buying preferences. While physical or gemological attributes like clarity and color make Japanese and Italian origins more desirable, astrological relevance makes the later a better choice. Similarly, when looking for jewelry purposes, Australian and Taiwanese origins are preferred more than others. It is always recommended to buy lab tested red coral whether online or from trusted dealers to ensure fair purchase.
