In other translations, this is translated into Tibetan as spug. White coral is fossilized coral that has undergone transformation under millions of years of underwater pressure. The Tibetan tradition describes it being formed from ice over a long period of time. It appears in one version of the list of the seven precious materials. It can also refer to tridacna (Tridacnidae) shell, which is also presently called musaragalva. Attempts to identify musalagalva have included sapphire, cat’s eye, red coral, conch, and amber.
