Topaz is listed in Revelation 21:20 as part of the New Jerusalem's foundation. With its golden-yellow color, it embodies the radiance of God, the lucidity of faith, and the preciousness of the heavenly realm. This stone, ranging in shades from pale yellow to a rich, honeyed gold, serves as a metaphor for the enlightenment bestowed by the Holy Spirit. It symbolizes the direction and insight derived from divine wisdom. The warm, sun-like hues of topaz represent the brilliance and warmth of God's light, reflecting the spiritual guidance and clear vision offered to believers through divine intervention.
