Exegesis
A second simile, hōs lithō iaspidi krystallizonti {ὡς λίθῳ ἰάσπιδι κρυσταλλίζοντι | hōs lí-thō i-ás-pi-di kry-stal-lí-zon-ti}, intensifies the imagery by specifying jasper and describing it as crystal-like. In translation, formal renders these comparisons as “like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, shining like crystal,” while dynamic uses “like a priceless jewel—like jasper, clear as crystal,” preserving the original’s escalating vividness within smooth English flow.
In context — Revelation 21:11
Having the glory of God , her brilliance was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone , shining like crystal.
