Shape and elements of Fossil Coral Mineral

If you look at the figures of the elements, you will see that Fossil Coral Mineral is made of calcium carbonate. More than 85% of coral is calcium carbonate and the other 15% is the minerals of the fine quality. The shape of each grain of Fossil Coral Mineral varies and takes interesting shapes.

The original coral has irregular roughness on the surface and there are numerous holes of capillaries where coral insects used to live. Coral itself has irregular shape with roughness or small holes from many years of abrasion by wind and waves or from microbiological erosion. Namely, all kinds of coral are calcareous mainly with calcium carbonate and are of various shapes with countless irregular roughness and small holes.

This means that:

         1) it has a large surface

         2)it creates spaces between the grains

         3)it is calcareous.

Effect of Fossil Coral Mineral

01. Changing Oxide into a Base (Alkaline)

Fossil Coral Mineral combines with oxides such as carbonic acid gas dissolved in water and changes them to salt as bicarbonate calcium, calcium phosphate and calcium sulphate. In the case of carbonic acid gas, for example, it shows the following reaction, and works to absorb carbonic acid gas which is harmful to breathing of living things as well as to change into harmless and useful nutritious salt.  1 

02. Fossil Coral Mineral promotes production and activities of Nitrifying Bacteria

Bacterium called nitrous bacteria or nitrosomonas are product not restricted to the bottom of the waters but also in the soil near the surface and well ventilated, in other words, where there are oxygen and carbonic acid gas as well as moisture and they oxidize ammonia and by utilizing free energy produced in that process they synthesize organic matters from inorganic matters. Namely, it works out to change ammonia harmful for living things to nitrate which is harmless to animals and essential to plants.

As can be seen in the following molecular formulas, water, oxygen and carbonic acid gas are necessary in such chemical synthesis. It means that such activities can only occur in the mud near the surface of water or fields in natural settings.

On the other hand, corals possess the best conditions for letting in water and air deeply into the sand.  2 

03. Fossil Coral Mineral Promotes the Production and Activities of Sulphur Bacteria

Carbonic acid assimilation action by the plants with chlorophyll is called photosynthesis, since it uses photoenergy. And it is the sulphur bacteria that oxidizes hydrogen sulphide and promotes carbonic acid assimilation with its free energy as nitrifier. It is called chemical synthesis bacteria together with iron bacteria and so on that changes dihydric iron oxide into trihydric oxide.  3 

Thus, in the process of changing hydrogen sulphide harmful to living things into harmless and useful material, oxygen and carbonic acid gas are also needed as in nitrifier.

That is, Fossil Coral Mineral promotes the activities of sulphur bacteria and prevent the production of hydrogen sulphide in advance.

04. Development of Algae and its Assimilation Action

When a coral is thrown into water, active development of algae such as diatom, blue and green algae can be observed. This is because a coral possesses conditions to promote development of nitrifier and consequently that of nitrate, and also the fact that it accompanies with the supply of calcium as a component of membrane seems to be very influential. Carbonic acid assimilation by the plants' photosynthesis changes inorganic matters to organic matters, which is impossible by animals, and makes them the feed for animals and at the same time it consumes carbonic acid gas in the atmosphere or in waters and emits oxygen.

Living things exist in the balance of emission of carbonic acid gas from this action and breathing by all living creatures and the process of absorption of oxygen.  4 

Breathing of living things including plants are just the reverse.

The annual amount of assimilation by the photosynthesis on the earth is 13.5 x 1010 tons in the sea, 1.6 x 1010 tons on land and 15.1 x 1010 tons in total, which shows that 90% of the total amount of assimilation takes place in the sea and in terms of the amount of plants in the sea, multi-cellular seaweeds share only a small part and most of them are the unicellular Algae. Namely, most of the assimilation on the earth takes place by the Algae in water.

Thus, the fact that the production of the Algae is promoted by corals is particularly important and significant for animals in terms of both breathing and feeding.

05. Fossil Coral Mineral Supplies Calcium (Both Powder and Granules have been used)

In water or in most soil, it combines with various oxides or water and becomes calcium salt. It is absorbed by the plants, and at the same time, it is preyed on as the supply of calcium directly by the animals. It is eaten by the Crustacea, Shellfish and fish and on land, it becomes an excellent feed for the birds, especially for pigeons and hens.

06. Fossil Coral Mineral Improves pH

As is mentioned in 01 above, Fossil Coral Mineral works neutralize water already oxidized and moreover, it dissolves lime in wafer little by little and makes calcium hydroxide which shows weak alkaline: therefore, it prevents the decline of pH and maintains it at a higher pH level.

07. Fossil Coral Mineral is Hygroscopic (Granular has been used)

The lime itself possesses hygroscopic property and besides, since Fossil Coral Mineral is porous and easily absorbed moistures, it preserves moisture or dries other things instead.

08. Fossil Coral Mineral Improves the quality of the Soil

What has been mentioned in 01, 02, 03, 05, 06 and 07 are not only true in water but can also be applied to the soil. When Coral is put into the surface of the soil, it improves the supply of air to the soil through its shape and it also provides manure in a biological sense.

Besides, it naturally has a use as manure in a chemical sense, but it also neutralizes acid soil and it prevents the oxidation of soil beforehand.

09. Fossil Coral Mineral Provides Habitats for Micro organisms (Granular has been used)

Its complicated shape and porosity enable to provide favourable home not only for chemical compounds bacterium mentioned earlier but also for micro organisms.

Various Uses of Fossil Coral Mineral

01. For Rearing of Aquatic Life such as Fish

Whether it is a water tank, a fishpond, or net separated water, when the corals are laid on the bottom of water in breeding points, you can get a stable quality of water from various actions mentioned earlier and the best conditions for rearing aquatic life.

Especially, there will be an excellent outcome in rearing and cultivating saltwater fish, Crustacea and shellfish and the aquarium fish, or even the saltwater fish that are considered to be difficult to rear at homes can be easily taken care of by using this coral.

02. For Adjusting pH (Neutralization and Prevention of Oxidation of Water)

In cases where water is oxidized for various reasons in the sea, lake, pond or river, if the corals are put into, they improve pH and neutralize water.

Once water is neutralized, they stop dissolution. If the water becomes oxidized again, they will be dissolved according to the necessity.

Therefore, it is different from the case when line is thrown into temporary to raise the value of pH. They possess semi-permanent effects.

03. For Stabilizing the Quality of Water

When the corals are put into water, they remove carbonic acid gas, hydrogen sulphide, ammonia and such and stabilize water by supplying oxygen, nutritious salt and so on and not only prevent from worsening but also improve transparency.

04. For Cultivation of Seaweeds

When the corals are used on the bottom of cultivation spots of the seaweeds whether they are in a tank or in the sea, the seaweeds grow very well. The corals also possess good conditions for spores to stick to, therefore, they are very effective in that way.

05. For Purification of Sewage

If the corals are used in the treatment of sewage, raw sewage, factory wastes and soon, they are quite effective. Especially, in the treatment of waste water including organic matters or oxides, there is a remarkable outcome.

Physical & Chemical Properties

01. Aragonite

Majority of calcium Carbonate is in limestone and there are two different calcium carbonate in crystalline form, Aragonite is rhombus and Calcite is hexagon. Fossil Coral Mineral is Aragonite.

02. Solubility

There is a big difference in solubility in water, that is to say, the solubility of Aragonite is 0.146 9th power grams/I 00 ml and Calcite is 0.13 9th power grams/100 ml/g which means, for better understanding, if we put the solubility of Calcite as 1, that of Aragonite is 5.63. Aragonite is 6 times more soluble in the water than that of Calcite.

03. Electrolytic Dissociation

The difference in solubility between Aragonite and Calcite manifests itself as difference in degree of electrolytic dissociation. The larger solubility means the higher degree of electrolytic dissociation.

Note: Electrolytic dissociation or ionization theory - When an acid, base or salt is dissociated in water or any other dissociating solvent, a part or all of the molecules of the dissolved substance are broken up into parts called ions, some of which are charged with positive electricity and are called cations and an equivalent number of which are charged with negative electricity and are called anions.

When Aragonite introduced into our body, very effective biological reaction is brought to different organs and physical body.

04. Electrolytic dissociated Calcium and Ionized Calcium

There are basic differences between higher degree of electrolytic dissociated calcium and so called, ionized calcium. The electrolytic dissociated Calcium is gradually ionized in the body.

On the contrary, the ionized Calcium reacts so rapidly in the body and there is tendency of calcium deposit in negative electron energy of cells and physical body which contributes to bad effect to our body.

05. Oxidization

There are also another distinctive differences under their oxide conditions. When Arogonite is oxidized, they become more minute elements, and when Calcite is oxidized, they are getting harder.

When Fossil Coral Mineral is taken, Fossil Coral Mineral becomes more minute by stomach solution and significantly better absorbed. Furthermore, Fossil Coral Mineral does not affect increase of serum calcium level in the blood and Fossil Coral Mineral contributes to formation of bone.

06. Emissive Power of Fossil Coral Mineral

Because of estimated 20 million years existed above sea level at Yonaguni Island of Okinawa, Fossil Coral Mineral contains solar energy radiated from the surface area of Fossil Coral Mineral. This built-in energy might contain biochemical and/or therapeutic power within Fossil Coral Mineral.

07. Coral Minerals used as Bone Graft Substitute Materials

"Processed coral products have true interconnected porosity to ensure complete bone ingrowth. The combination of coral and growth factors stimulates rapid bone formation at the fractured site and they help stimulate bone healing."

Corals in the Great Barrier Reef contain sunscreens that absorb ultraviolet rays.
