Red Coral is a sea wood, so we can find a few wood grain lines/pits-like inclusions on the surface which is an indication that the Red Coral is a real one. However, lab tests and consultation with a good certified Gemologist can help in identifying whether this gemstone is real or not. There is one Acid test as well which one can perform at home to check the authenticity of the Red Coral (we do not recommend this test). Take your red coral and drop one drop of hydrophobic acid on it, if you see strong bubbling, then the Red Coral is real. But this damages the Red Coral, so we do not recommend this test at home.
