Gem expert
No matter how much you learn, professionals are professionals. Consult a gemstone expert before buying this stone to check its authenticity.

Color
The color of a natural gemstone will allure you in an instant. Red coral (Original Moonga Stone) is an organic stone and does not emit fire. Also, check for its vividness, these stones don't come in very bright colors.

Hardness
Red coral is rated 4 on Moh's scale (a scale to measure rigidity of gemstones) and could be broken in a hit. So, if you come across a stone that is very hard, that is not original red coral. 

Nature
Being red doesn't always means hot. Red coral is extracted from the sea and is cool as ice. Place a red coral on your hand and if your hand feels hot, you exactly know what to do with the seller.

You can also perform some tests to find out the bona fide red coral

Milk Test
Fill half of the glass with milk. Now, dip your red coral into it. Red coral with its red color radiates inside the milk, turning the color of milk from white to red. But if the milk didn't change color, it's not a genuine one.

Magnify Test
Rest your coral on a clean white cloth. Grab a magnify glass and bring your eyes close to the gem. Do your analysis carefully, contemplating the gem thoroughly. Red corals contain some inclusions and some holes on the surface. So, you know what to do when you find a wholly clear coral. 

Rub Test
Rub the stone with your nails. Heard a screeching sound? You have found out a glass counterfeit. Red corals are very smooth and don't make sounds.

Turmeric Test
Rub this stone on a turmeric. If the turmeric didn't change color, then you are saved but if it did you have fallen prey to the beauty.
