Emerald:

a precious stone of a rich green color, upon which its value chiefly depends. This gem was the first in the second row on the breastplate of the high priest (Exodus 28:18; 39:11). It was imported to Tyre from Syria (Ezekiel 27:16) was used as a seal or signet, Ecclesiasticus 32:6, as an ornament of clothing and bedding (Ezekiel 28:13; Judges 10:21) and is spoken of as one of the foundations of Jerusalem (Revelation 21:19; Tobit 13:16). The rainbow around the throne is compared to emerald in Revelation 4:3.
