[Pearl
and coral have been mentioned in these lists
as "stones"
because they
were anciently thought to be such. Our knowledge of them
as products
of living creatures leaves us with the ethical question of
whether or
not to use them in ritual. This must
be a personal
decision.
Beach gathered coral and shells (mother of pearl is from
shells)
can be used without conflicting with the above
statement
because the
creature has already died by the time the item was found.
If you decide
not to use them, just remember leather is also a product
of a living
creature.]
