Coral is an artifact of the ancients to show off their wealth. Why is it more popular than gold?

Because coral resources are limited and non-renewable, it is a very beautiful organic gem, which is very rare.

First, let's talk about the formation of coral. Coral is made up of coral bones and excrement. Humans can't make such natural ornaments with technology. Coral is a very special life. In the process of its continuous accumulation, it absorbed many different elements in seawater and gradually formed colorful and diverse coral colors.

Secondly, let's talk about how difficult it is to collect corals. Some corals grow in shallow waters, while others grow in deep waters. Generally speaking, the more expensive ones grow in the deep sea area. Deep sea water is deep, and there are unknown risks below. Collecting corals is very difficult. People are easy to get injured or die directly in the deep sea during the collection process, so few corals can be collected. Corals in those deep-sea areas are far more precious than those in shallow waters.

Also, coral resources are very limited, and they are pure natural organic gems. Once mined, it is impossible to regenerate. Coral takes a long time to form, and it slowly accumulates for a long time. Moreover, more and more people are mining corals, which leads to the scarcity of coral resources. Coral is also a rare and beautiful ornament in the mainland, and rare things are expensive.

Finally, corals have high ornamental and protective value. Coral bones are very hard and beautiful in color, and can be processed into handicrafts. Moreover, if corals form coral reefs or coral islands in a large area, they can provide a good habitat for fish in the sea to live and reproduce, and can also protect the beach. However, coral reefs have a certain blocking effect on human navigation in some areas.
