Bamboo and sponge coral are more readily available and lessen not only the stress on the dwindling red coral supply, but also the cost of materials. Bamboo corals are in the Family Isididae of the Order Alcyonacea within the Subclass Octocorallia. Isidids are octo-corals, meaning they have eight pinnate tentacles on each polyp that can be either retractile (can be drawn in) or non-retractile. The bony calcareous structures (internodes) are interspersed with proteinaceous gorgonin (nodes) not composed of fused sclerites. This structure gives the skeletal remains of the organism an eerie fingerlike appearance. Red bamboo coral beads are processed through a high temperature oil-dyed step. This oil-dyed step makes these red bamboo coral beads not to fade easily. Each bead is carefully hand made from the natural bamboo coral, cut into delicate pieces and polished to a high gloss. These rich crimson color bamboo coral beads are excellent pieces for use as spacers and enhancements in any piece of jewelry. Due to the nature of the material itself, there may be some hollows inside these coral beads. Healing Properties: ... Astrologically: ...
