What does the Bible say about chrysoprasus?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible mentions chrysoprase as one of the precious stones adorning the foundation of the New Jerusalem, displaying the splendor and perfection of God’s final redeemed dwelling with his people. In Revelation 21:20, chrysoprase is named among the jewels set in the city’s foundations, alongside other costly stones. Scripture does not assign a separate doctrinal meaning to this gem, so believers should not build speculative symbolism upon it. Rather, its appearance contributes to John’s vision of the surpassing beauty, holiness, permanence, and glory of the heavenly city. The passage directs our hope beyond earthly riches to the inheritance God has prepared through Christ for all his redeemed people.
