Red Coral (Moonga)
Moonga is the gemstone of Mars (Mangal) — the planet of courage, energy and land.
Who is it suggested for?
Often suggested for Manglik charts when Mars rules a good house, and in a Mars dasha.
What it is associated with
Linked with courage, stamina and steadier property matters.
Caution: Avoid if Mars is an inauspicious lord for your ascendant; it can increase impatience.
