So it's a colour or a specimen. Or a unique specimen. A specimen sounds like a plant, or something that was once living.

SERAGON contains the word "rag," which kind of agrees with "cloth," and it's the only Tolkien name I can think of offhand which takes its name (in a way) from a colour - blood-red/bloodstone. "Unique" could be "one," I suppose - rag + one + s.

That said, I don't think it's right.
