(Ezek. 1:22, with the epithet "terrible," as dazzling the spectators with its
brightness). The word occurs in Rev. 4:6; 21:11; 22:1. It is a stone of the
flint order, the most refined kind of quartz. The Greek word here used means
also literally "ice." The ancients regarded the crystal as only pure water
congealed into extreme hardness by great length of time.
