The Book of Revelation was written over 2000 years ago. It speaks of 12 stones that decorate the foundations of the holy city of God. Recently, it has been discovered that all 12 stones are anisotropic which means that when pure light shines on them, they become even more beautiful. Bear in mind that scripture tells us that God is pure light.
Not all precious stones are anisotropic. Isotropic stones for example lose their colour in pure direct light. Stones that are isotropic do not make up the foundations of the city of God.
The discovery of anisotropic and isotropic properties of stones was made some 16 centuries after the Book of Revelation was written.
Revelation 21:19-20
19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
