Exegesis
The adjective lampron {λαμπρὸν | lam-prón} ‘bright’ stands in attributive position to potamon, while the comparative particle hos {ὡς | hōs} introduces the simile hos krustallon {ὡς κρύσταλλον | hōs krýstallon} ‘as crystal’, emphasizing purity and brilliance.

And he showed me a river of the water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb .
