Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Revelation 21:20

_ _ sardonyx — a gem having the redness of the cornelian, and the whiteness of the onyx.

_ _ sardius — (See on Revelation 4:3).

_ _ chrysolite — described by Pliny as transparent and of a golden brightness, like our topaz: different from our pale green crystallized chrysolite.

_ _ beryl — of a sea-green color.

_ _ topaz — Pliny [37.32], makes it green and transparent, like our chrysolite.

_ _ chrysoprasus — somewhat pale, and having the purple color of the amethyst [Pliny, 37, 20, 21].

_ _ jacinth — The flashing violet brightness in the amethyst is diluted in the jacinth [Pliny, 37.41].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Revelation 21:9-27.
