topaz, a green or yellow precious gemstone
Among the foundations of the New Jerusalem described in Revelation 21:20, topaz appears as one of the precious stones adorning the eternal city. Ancient topaz was likely what we now call chrysolite or peridot, a stone of greenish-golden hue prized for its beauty and rarity. The prophetic vision employs these gems to communicate the incomparable splendor and value of God's final dwelling with humanity. Each stone contributes to a picture of glory beyond earthly imagination.

1. sense 1 — John's description of the heavenly city includes topaz among twelve foundation stones, each representing transcendent beauty and worth. The multilingual glosses—Spanish 'topacio', French and German 'Topas'—preserve the gemstone's name across languages, though ancient identification of specific stones sometimes differs from modern taxonomy. The green hue traditionally associated with this stone would contribute to the kaleidoscope of colors symbolizing the diverse glory of God's kingdom. 1×
