A fabric or material with a raised, textured surface designed to resemble or suggest coral; or a type of decorative craft material.
From 'coral' + '-ene' (suffix suggesting synthetic or derived material). Likely a trade name that became semi-generic for coral-textured fabrics.
Coralene was a Victorian-era craft material used to create bumpy, textured designs that actually looked like coral underwater—people would glue it to things for that fancy 3D effect!
