The Breastplate was a sacred part of the High Priest's attire
(Exodus 28:17–20)
At the time the Torah was written, there were no images or precise definitions, so the identification of the stones relied on names, colors, descriptions, and traditions. As a result, there are considerable disagreements among commentators, scholars, and gemology experts.
From the various existing identifications, those presented here are based on classical Jewish sources – including the Talmud, Rashi, and Ramban – alongside modern gemological research.
