Sardonyx
Watson's Biblical & Theological Dictionary
σαρδονυξ , Revelation 21:20 . A precious stone which seems to have its name from its resemblance partly to the sardius and partly to the onyx. It is generally tinged with black and blood colour, which are distinguished from each other by circles or rows, so distinct that they appear to be the effect of art.
