This lovely stone from Italy brings back memories of the time we spent stationed in Vicenza, Italy. Italian architecture loves the use of marble and it reminds me of walking through the streets of Verona lined with marble sidewalks.

Scripture Stone: a precious stone adorning the breast-plate of the high priest and the shoulders of the ephod (Exodus 28:9-12, Exodus 28:20; 35:27; Job 28:16; Ezekiel 28:13). It was found in the land of Havilah (Genesis 2:12). -Easton’s Bible Dictionary

"The onyx is not a transparent stone, but as the color of the flesh appears through the nail (Greek onyx) on the human body, so the reddish mass which is below shines delicately through the whitish surface of the onyx. There are several varieties. White and reddish stripes alternating form the sardonyx; white and reddish gray, the chalcedony. When polished it has a fine lustre, and is easily wrought into a gem of great beauty."-Rosenmiller from Smith’s Bible Dictionary
