Gemstones in the Bible

Just something interesting Yahweh showed me.  First - satan was in the garden of Eden before he fell and had all his gemstone covering- could it be the iniquity that was found in him was when he tempted Eve?  Strong implication that this is so!  

The jewels in the High Priest's breastplate and the ones  covering satan.   Not a perfect match although it is more than a coincidence.  Interesting that the High Priest's breastplate and the New Jerusalem walls (in the book of Revelation) have 12 gemstones mentioned but satan has only ten mentioned although the verse says 'EVERY precious stone was thy covering' . 

Not sure what all this means although I know there is something more Yahweh has not shown me yet.  There is another teaching from reading these passages although is not related to the gemstones and I'll post about it later.

Description of the High Priest's Breastplate (commanded by Yahweh)

Exodus 28
17  And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row.
18  And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
19  And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
20  And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.

Description of satan when he was in the Garden of Eden before he fell:

Ezekiel 28
13  thou wast in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the carnelian, the topaz, and the emerald, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the carbuncle, and the smaragd, and gold; the workmanship of thy settings and of thy sockets was in thee, in the day that thou wast created they were prepared.
14  Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15  Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

Description of the gemstones making up the walls of the New Jerusalem in the book of Revelation:

Revelation 21
18  And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19  And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20  The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
