Natural red coral often found in old pieces of jewelry, is in full modern renaissance as both jewelers and customers are enjoying its natural beauty and new lustre. Unfortunately, what is sold as red coral stone is often an imitation of the real thing using plastic, glass, bone and dyed shells. Red coral is rarely found in reefs, but the calcified remains of a marine animal that form branchlike structures in colonies.

Instructions:

• Examine the piece of Japanese red coral at high magnification. Real red coral (Original Moonga Stone) has a distinctive visible texture, similar to wood grain, which you can see through a magnifying glass. The most common imitators, such as hard plastic, glass or even bones and shells, do not have this texture.
• Milk test: Put the coral in a glass of milk. Real red coral will cause the milk to take on a hint of red or pink. Neither plastic alternatives nor glass will cause this change. Dyed bones or shell can discolor milk. If the milk color does not change, you do not have authentic coral. If she does, you might have authentic coral.

•  Bubble Test: Look for bubbles or molding lines. Glass facsimiles often have tiny bubbles embedded in the mass, while you can see tiny lines of mold in some of the plastic imitations. Real red coral never has bubbles.

• Vinegar Test: Put the piece in a bowl of highly diluted vinegar. Real red coral will make bubbles in the form of calcium carbonate in it in the presence of acidic environment of vinegar. Again, however, the best imitations in dyed or shell bone will do the same thing. If the piece does not create bubbles, it is not real coral. 
• Look at the combination of tests. Although each test does not exclude all imitators, a piece that passes all tests is very likely to be true red coral.
• Lemon Juice Test: Another test is to place one or two drops of nitric acid or lemon juice in an inconspicuous place, like the palm of a certain piece of jewelry. If the coral is real, the spot will make effervescence and form small bubbles on its surface. Also, in the Authentic Coral it is found that it has a uniform color, has a deep natural color, but not a too phosphorescent or too opaque color therefore counterfeiters find it more tedious to imitate it in such a way that it makes it easier to identify its authenticity. Also, inspect the texture of the holes and dents; it should feel soft.
• Rubbing Tests: Check the sound produced by touching or rubbing the gem with nails. If the sound of a glass rubbing comes out, the red coral is fake because the fake things are made of glass only.
• Turmeric test: Rub raw turmeric on red coral gems. If there is a red mark in the color of turmeric or the change occurs, the coral is fake. If Coral is real, then turmeric color will not change.
