When pure light passes trough precious stones (that we make into jewelry) make beautiful colors. The 12 stones that the walls in the new Jerusalem (Revelation 21:19), the city in heaven, is made of. That none of either diamond, rubys or garnets are mentioned, because they are isotropic, when light passes trough them, there is no beauty at all. All the 12 stones mentioned are all anisotropic. (Jasper, Saphire, Chalcedony, Emerald, Sardonyx, Carnelian, Crysolyte, Beryl, Topaz, Chrysoprasus, Jacinth & Amethyst) No one at that time would have known this, especially not John, the writer of Revelation.
