Aaron's breastplate

Twelve stones each set in a gold setting placed on a piece of material, (cloth), nine inches square. Each stone had one of the twelve tribes of Israel engraved on it. Gem-stones are used in this example, the exact color of the stones is not known since stones can vary greatly in their colors.

There were four rows of stones:

1^st row: a Sardius, a Topaz and an Emerald.
2^nd row: a Turquoise, a Sapphire and a Diamond.
3^rd row: a Jacinth, a Agate and a Amethyst.
4^th row: a Beryl, a Onyx and a Jasper.

To see the names of the tribes and the type of stones, roll your mouse over each stone.
