Italian Red Coral (Moonga) 4.26 Carat (4.68 Ratti) is a natural coral gemstone selected for buyers who prefer a clearly defined triangular silhouette with rich red body appearance. The polished cabochon finish delivers a clean non-faceted look, making this gemstone suitable for both jyotish-based wearing and contemporary jewelry design.
With dimensions of 13 x 13.3 x 13.2 x 5.4 mm, this gemstone offers broad face-up coverage with a stable profile for custom setting work. In gemstone trade context, Italian red coral is associated with Mediterranean coral channels where naturally formed calcium-carbonate coral remains valued for traditional ornament and symbolic gemstone use.
This gemstone is certified as Natural Coral and Un-Heated & Un-Treated. For buyers comparing multiple coral options, untreated status remains a key quality marker because it preserves natural material structure and original visual character.
