Introduction
Fossil Coral
Mineral is 100% natural fossilized Coral Calcium Mineral in
powder and granular form. It is a composite of more than 70
different minerals, of which calcium is the largest component
(40%). Fossil Coral Mineral plays biochemical and synergetic
symphony with 70 elements of mineral members where calcium
acting as the concertmaster in our body.
Fossil Coral
Mineral is different from the coral sand getting from the
bottom of the sea which is sold by other companies. However,
Fossil Coral Mineral possesses various effects such as absorbing
heavy metals and agricultural chemicals.
Fossil Coral
Mineral also contains possibilities to solve environmental
problems that have recently been brought about everywhere
in the world.
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.

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.

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. Reported
