Mediterranean coral is extremely rare and highly sought after. Gemstone-quality coral is related to reef-forming corals, but the most valuable variety of coral is found in the Mediterranean, a vivid color of orange. It takes thousands of years for coral to form which increases its rarity and value. Today, the Mediterranean sea no longer shelters the great coral reefs that thrived 60 million years ago due to millennia of climatic and oceanographic changes.
