CHRYSOPRASUS

Back to Bible Dictionary

Rev. xxi, 20, a precious stone, which Pliny classes among
the beryls; the best of which, he says, are of a sea-green colour; after
these he mentions the chrysoberyls, which are a little paler, inclining
to golden colour; and next, a sort still paler, and by some reckoned a
distinct species, and called chrysoprasus.
