The 12 Anisotropic Stones

Where in the Bible does it tell us that? All I see here is a small subset of the large number of anisotropic stones they could have used. What is so special about these particular stones?

The Bible does not tell us these are anisotropic stones because that is a modern term used for stones with this special property.

The man points out that these stones are ALL anisotropic. That means that in pure light they look radiant and give out all the colors. Other precious stones such as diamonds, spinel, pyrope look black and colorless in pure light.

He said we have only discovered this special property of these type stones in the last century and considers it amazing that these 12 anisotropic stones are mentioned as being part of the New Jerusalem. That is because he believes no man could have known about this special property when this was written in the Holy Bible.
