Meaning of Marjaan (Marjan)

According to some scholars Marjaan is a “small and delicate pearl“, while others say it refers to “precious coral“, also known as “red coral” (scientific name: Corallium rubrum), which has an intensely red color and has been used in the making of jewelry for millennia. It is mentioned twice in the Quran.

He released the two seas, meeting [side by side]. Between them is a barrier [so] neither of them transgresses. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? From both of them emerge pearl and coral. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? And to Him belong the ships [with sails] elevated in the sea like mountains. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? (55:19-25)

Reclining on beds whose linings are of silk brocade, and the fruit of the two gardens is hanging low. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? In them are women limiting [their] glances, untouched before them by man or jinni. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? As if they were rubies and coral. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? Is the reward for good [anything] but good? (55:54-60)
