Coral
Protects from lightning and tempest.
Coral is one of the stones catalogued by Marbodus of Rennes in his De Lapidibus (c.1067 AD), the medieval lapidary that synthesised classical and Christian traditions on the virtues of stones. Its colour: Green in sea, hardens to red in air. Recorded origin: Grows in the sea like a tree.
Zoroaster and Metrodorus both recorded coral's power against storms — both physical and spiritual. The fallen Watcher Ramiel rules thunder — coral is your ancient shield against his domain.
