In Sanskrit it is called Praval Ratna, and in various regions it is also known as Laal Munga Ratna, or simply Munga Stone. Coral stone sourced from Japan is called Japanese coral, while coral sourced from the Mediterranean Sea is known as Mediterranean or Italian coral. With its rich red to pinkish-red color, Moonga stands out for its natural beauty and deep spiritual meaning.
