Does your red coral come with a lab report?

Not by default. Any stone can be sent for independent testing on request, and you see the report before you pay.

What does a coral lab report include?

It identifies the material, says whether it is natural or synthetic, and lists any treatment the lab can detect, with weight and measurements.

Lab-Certified Red Coral (Marjan)

Marjan (Red Coral) with a Lab Report مرجان

In short: Few stones are faked as often as Marjan in Pakistani markets, so a lab report confirms that you have natural coral and whether its colour is natural or dyed. It also picks up wax or resin filling, reconstituted coral and imitations made of glass or plastic. Send us the link to any coral on WhatsApp and see the report before paying.

Marjan is among the most frequently faked stones in Pakistani markets. A lab report confirms that the coral is natural and tells you whether its colour is natural or dyed.

What a lab looks for in red coral

Natural colour or dye: spectroscopy recognises coral's natural pigment, and dyed coral, dyed sponge coral included, is flagged on the report.
Filling and coating: wax, resin or polymer pushed into the pores to add shine.
Reconstituted coral: coral dust bonded together with resin, which has none of the natural growth structure.
Imitations: glass, plastic, and dyed bone or shell.

Asking for a report

Choose a stone from our red coral collection and message us its link on WhatsApp. We will go through the testing steps for that stone with you, and you see the report before you pay. The same applies to ruby, red agate and pearl. More on lab-certified gemstones.
