Marjan (Marjaan) stone

Marjan (or Marjaan) stone is an organic gemstone created from the skeletons of marine corals that are found under the ocean’s surface. Unlike a mineral gemstone, which is chemically made, Marjan stones are developed and produced naturally through tiny marine organisms called polyps. Marjan stones tend to vary in their color tones from light red to darkish reddish-orange and have a non-transparent appearance.

Countries such as Italy, Japan, and Taiwan are the major producers of Marjan stones. According to Vedic astrology, Marjan stones are associated with the planet Mars (also known as Mangal Grah), which governs an individual’s energy, determination, and physical ability. Therefore, wearing a true Marjan stone can help to boost an individual’s confidence and stamina and aid him/her in the decision-making process. Because it is such a bright and bold-coloured stone and it has significance as well, it is a very popular choice for astrological and decorative use in the manufacture of rings, pendants, and bracelets.
