Studying the Stones of the Bible

The Bible describes the New Jerusalem in great detail with many references to stones.

. 

Rev 21:18  And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 

Rev 21:19  And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; 

Rev 21:20  The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 

Rev 21:21  And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 

So,the bible lists these stones in order as well

1. jasper
2. sapphire
3. chalcedony
4. emerald
5. sardonyx
6. sardius
7. chrysolite
8. beryl
9. topaz
10. chrysoprasus 
11. jacinth
12. amethyst.

In the next following days I will post some information about each stone.
