Smith's Bible Dictionary

Chrysolite

one of the precious stones in the foundation of the heavenly Jerusalem. (Revelation 21:20) It has been already stated [BERYL] that the chrysolite of the ancients is identical with the modern oriental topaz the tarhish of the Hebrew Bible.

ATS Bible Dictionary

Chrysolite

A transparent precious stone, having the color of gold with a mixture of green, and a fine luster, Revelation 21:20. Many suppose it to be the topaz of the moderns.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
