Gems Mentioned in the Bible

In the Breastplate of Aaron, The High Priest

"And they set in it four rows of stones:
the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper:
they were enclosed in pouches of gold in their inclosings."

Exodus 39:10 - 13
