Mars & Gems
Mars is the Planet of energy, vitality and ambition, and Red Coral expresses these qualities well.
A difficult Mars leads to war and conflict, while if it is well placed in the Natal Chart, it will give an incredible strength for adventure, the unexpected, courage and valour in every situation of life. As always, therefore, it is necessary to evaluate correctly the balance in the basic Horoscope before wearing this Gem. Those who work in the military, in the armed forces in general, surgeons, arms manufacturing, chemical products, and the real estate sector are under a dominant Martian influence.
The principal Stone for Mars is Red Coral which, being a Stone that is not particularly expensive, does not require a substitute.
It is usually mounted in necklaces, and drilling it reduces its strength. Another way to wear it without drilling it is to mount it on a Copper ring or on a pendant with a Copper setting. It is better if it is in contact with the skin.
