See 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 matt and may display cracks, but when polished, acquires unique attractiveness. Sea bamboo has for centuries been valued 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.
