<div> '''A | <div> '''A — 1: '''''Κρύσταλλος''''' ''' (Strong'S #2930 — Noun Masculine — krustallos — kroos'-tal-los ) </div> <p> from kruos, "ice," and hence properly anything congealed and transparent, denotes "crystal," a kind of precious stone, Revelation 4:6; 22:1 . Rock crystal is pure quartz; it crystallizes in hexagonal prisms, each with a pyramidical apex. </p> <div> '''B — 1: '''''Κρυσταλλίζω''''' ''' (Strong'S #2929 — Verb — krustallizo — kroos-tal-lid'-zo ) </div> <p> "to be of crystalline brightness and transparency, to shine like crystal," is found in Revelation 21:11 , where it is said of Christ as the "Light-giver" (phoster) of the [[Heavenly]] City (not phos, "light," RV and AV). Possibly there the verb has a transitive force, "to transform into crystal splendor," as of the effect of Christ upon His saints. </p> | ||
