"Tarshish is generally rendered by the LXX. and the Vulgate the chrysolite, so called by the ancients (from [chrusos ( xruso/v )] gold, and [lithos ( liðqov )] a stone,) because of its fine gold yellow colour. It is now called by the moderns the topaz; is a very beautiful and valuable gem in its pure and perfect state, though very rarely found so; and the finer pieces of it are in hardness second only to the diamond. The Vulgate, however, in Eze 1:16, renders, quasi visio maris, ""as the appearance of the seas,"" i.e., azure; and Dr. Geddes (on Exd 28:10) says, that, with Abarbanel, he believes the beryl to be intended. It is a pellucid gem, called by our lapidaries, aqua marina, of a sea or bluish green colour, found in the East Indies and about the gold mines of Peru. The genuine beryl never receives any other mixture of colour; and in its perfect state approaches the hardness of garnet." |
