What does the Bible say about chalcedony?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible mentions chalcedony as one of the precious stones adorning the foundations of the New Jerusalem, displaying the splendor and perfection of God’s eternal dwelling with His people. In Revelation 21:19, chalcedony is named among the jewels that beautify the city’s foundations. The emphasis is not on the stone’s earthly value or supposed spiritual powers, but on the surpassing glory, beauty, and permanence of God’s redeemed kingdom. This imagery assures believers that Christ will bring His people into a holy, secure, and radiant new creation, where God dwells with them forever.
