Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from G5557 and πρασον prason (a leek); a greenish-yellow gem (“chrysoprase”):—chrysoprase.
Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.
Thayer’s Greek Definitions
1) chrysoprasus is a stone of green colour, inclined to that of gold, from whence it has its name; for this is agate in the breast plate, which was Naphtali’s stone. (Gill)
