The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
Coral is not a gem, but rather the skeletons of a group of plants. It is collected by divers from the ocean floor. Corals usually form reefs off of tropical landmasses, although cold water reefs also exist.[1] Coral is a sacred stone to Charl and is attuned to the element of water.

a piece of blue ridge coral
| Description: Myriad calcified protrusions, twisting and intertwining, extend from a small stalk to form a piece of blue ridge coral. The protrusions form an irregularly shaped colony, with no symmetry or balance apparent. The entire mass is only a couple of inches across at its largest dimension, and all portions are colored a uniform pastel blue.

a piece of flower coral
| Description: Short, twisting fingerlings of calcified material extend from a short base to create a piece of flower coral. Though the fingerlings seem to travel a meandering course, the space between any two fingerlings is quite consistent, and all the fingerlings extend the same distance from the center. All portions of the symmetrical globe are light bluish grey.
