In Eldest when Eragon is taught about the Dwarven Gods by Gannel he learns that the dwarves believe that coral is alive. The Dwarves use this as proof that they were born of stone. The elves disregard this as ridiculous and have tested and found coral to actually be a living creature. The dwarves ignore this and claim that "the life [the elves] felt resides in every kind of stone, although their priests are the only ones who are supposed to be able to detect the life in landlocked stones." (Eldest, pg 543)
