Coral (from the Greek "korallion" the son of the sea). For a long time scientists struggled to determine the class to which include the Korall. Ancient Greek philosopher and botanist Theophrastus considered him something of a cross between stone and plant, the Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder described its properties in a book about marine animals and the healing potions, which are made from coral, while the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus identified the mineral in a separate category of zoophytes, that is zivotnosti.
