Sea bamboo is a red variety of coral, grown in the depths of oceans and used for jewelry and ornamental objects. In its untreated state, sea bamboo is matte and may display cracks, but when polished, acquires unique attractiveness. Sea bamboo has been valued for centuries as a talisman by the Santo Domingo Indians of New Mexico, renowned for their lapidary and beading artistry. Their beaded works are worn in dances and ceremonies and given as gifts on the occasion of marriages and religious rituals.
