This stone is mentioned as the third foundation layer in the New Jerusalem mentioned in Revelation. This is a fairly common gem and is a white green color of quartz. It withstands weathering and is common in river beds and areas that contain water. It is an extremely fine grained gem and the word agate gives a better idea of what the stone looks like. It is found in almost every color or combination of color. Because the gem is made of quartz it is not clear but opaque. The stone pictured here is a pink chalcedony.
