However, gemstones in general are often referred to in the Old Testament, such as in the description of the High Priest's breastplate (Exodus 28:17-20).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "chrusoprasos" refers to a precious stone known as chrysoprase, which is a variety of chalcedony that contains small quantities of nickel, giving it a distinct apple-green color. In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe one of the foundation stones of the New Jerusalem.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, chrysoprase was highly valued for its beauty and rarity. It was often used in jewelry and ornamentation. The Greeks and Romans prized it for its vibrant color, which was associated with prosperity and health. The stone's name reflects its golden-green hue, combining the Greek words for gold and leek.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5557.htm">chrusos</a> and a prim. word prason (a leek)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a chrysoprase (a greenish-yellow gem)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>chrysoprase (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5556: χρυσόπρασος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">χρυσόπρασος</span></span> (<span class="greek2">χρυσοπρασον</span> Lachmann), <span class="greek2">χρυσοπρασου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, (from <span class="greek2">χρυσός</span>, and <span class="greek2">πράσον</span> a leek), <span class="accented">chrysoprase,</span> a precious stone in color like a leek, of a translucent golden-green (cf. <span class="abbreviation">BB.
