Jacinth


Jacinth is an orange-red transparent variety of zircon used as a gemstone.
It has been supposed to designate the same stone as the ligure mentioned in Exodus as the first stone of the third row in the high priest's breast-plate, the Hoshen or choshen. In Revelation , the word is simply descriptive of colour. In Revelation 21:19–20, it is mentioned as one of the foundational stones of the New Jerusalem.
