Beryl:

the rendering in the Authorized Version of the Hebrew word tarshish, a precious stone; probably so called as being brought from Tarshish. It was one of the stones on the breastplate of the high priest (Exd 28:20; R.V. marg., "chalcedony; 39:13). The colour of the wheels in Ezekiel's vision was as the colour of a beryl stone (Eze 1:16; 10:9; R.V., "stone of Tarshish"). It is mentioned in Sgs 5:14; Dan 10:6; Rev 21:20. In Eze 28:13 the LXX. render the word by "chrysolite," which the Jewish historian Josephus regards as its proper translation. This also is the rendering given in the Authorized Version in the margin. That was a gold-coloured gem, the topaz of ancient authors.
