Sardine, Revelation 4:3, A. V., or Sardius, Exodus 28:17. A gem of a blood-red or flesh color, susceptible of a high polish, and also called "sard" or "carnelian." Its former name it obtains from Sardis, in Asia Minor, where it was first found. This stone has long been a favorite for the engraver's art.
