What is Carbuncle?
        CAR'BUNCLE
     This term represents two Hebrew words. The first, Ex 28:17; Ex 39:10; Eze 28:13, meaning flashing like lightning, is supposed to be either the emerald or beryl, both of which are precious stones of a green color." Thy gates of carbuncles," Isa 54:12, has reference to a stone shining like fire -- possibly a brilliant species of ruby.
