CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Precious Stones in the Bible The coral spoken of in the Bible is the precious coral (corallum rubrum), the formation of which is well known. The precious stones of the Bible are chiefly of interest in connexion with the breastplate of the high-priest (Exodus 28:17-20; 39:10-13), the treasure of the King of Tyre (Ezekiel 28:13), and the foundations of the New Jerusalem (Tobit 13:16-17, in the Greek text, and more fully, Revelation 21:18-21). Precious stones are stones remarkable for their colour, brilliancy, or rarity. www.newadvent.org /cathen/14304c.htm   (4544 words)

Saipan Tribune Hawaii black coral is a highly prized precious coral, much superior to imported black coral from the Philippines and elsewhere, which is a different species. University of Hawaii professor Rick Grigg, who has headed the council's Precious Coral Plan Team for 28 years, said the increase in minimum size would protect the corals for an additional five years of sexual maturity, allowing more recruitment to take place. Black coral is the official state gem of Hawaii and brings about $25 million to the state annually. www.saipantribune.com /newsstory.aspx?cat=1&newsID=47755   (731 words)

Marine Fisheries Review: Precious corals in Hawaii: discovery of a new bed and revised management measures for existing beds Although the quantity of precious coral harvested in the Makapuu Bed was not great, it was sufficient to stimulate a long-term Sea Grant research program at the University of Hawaii. The FMP also permitted harvest of two other species of precious coral from the Makapuu Bed; 600 kg of gold coral (Gerardia sp.) and 600 kg of bamboo coral (Lepidisis olapa). Between 1966 and 1969, about 2,000 kg of C. secundum was harvested in the Makapuu Bed by domestic vessels utilizing tangle net dredges (dredges consisting of heavy stones or iron bars with attached netting) (Poh, 1971). www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m3089/is_1_64/ai_110532129   (1480 words)

Know Your Gemstone Introduction - Complete Guide, Info Library to Free Indian Astrology Horoscope Predictions The puranas present beautiful stories about the origin of gems and their relationship with the nine planets.The nav-ratna(nine gems) are divided into two groups:-Precious and Semi-precious.Diamond, pearl, Ruby, Blue-Sapphire and Emerald are precious gems whereas hessonite, yellow sapphire, cat’s eye and coral fall in the category of semi-precious gems. These nine gems known as nav-ratnas correspond with the nine dhatus(ingredients) of which the human body is composed. There is no disagreement in the relationship of gems to planets.Most Indian astrologers and gem therapists agree on the use of gemstone related to the moon sign(rashi).(The moon sign means the placement of moon in a particular sign of the Zodiac). www.astrogyan.com /eng/gemintro.htm   (592 words)

The "Nine Gem" Jewel Among the Burmese the value for occult purposes of the nine gems composing the naoratna, or navaratna, is strictly determined in the following order: first, the ruby; second, the diamond, or rock-crystal; third, the pearl; fourth, the coral; fifth, the topaz; sixth, the sapphire; seventh, the cat's-eye; eighth, the amethyst; and ninth, the emerald. In the naoratna the five gems known to the Hindus as the mahâratnâni, or "great gems,"--the diamond, pearl, ruby, sapphire, and emerald,--were, as we see, associated with the Sun and Moon, Venus, Mercury, and Saturn, while the four lesser gems (uparatnâni)--namely, the jacinth, topaz, cat's-eye, and coral--represent Mars, Jupiter, Râhu, and the descending node. Whether these were gems cannot be determined, since the primary meaning of the word ratna is "a precious object," not necessarily a precious stone; but it is possible that we may have here an allusion to some earlier form of talisman, in which only the Sun, Moon, and the five planets were represented. www.jjkent.com /articles/nine-gem-jewel.htm   (668 words)
