Oecumenius, on Rev 21:18

“And the building of the wall thereof was of jasper stone: but the city itself pure gold, like to clear glass.”

“And he says that the inner structure of its wall is jasper. Already we have received jasper as the symbol of the incorruptible and life-giving Christ. And he says the city is pure gold, like clear glass. The gold is arranged with brilliance and transparency. The precious and purity of the saints is presented in works and words.”
