Is. 61:6-11
But you shall be called the priests of the Lord; people will speak of you as the ministers of our God. You shall eat the wealth of the nations, and the glory [once that of your captors] shall be yours.
Instead of your [former] shame you shall have a twofold recompense; instead of dishonor and reproach [your people] shall rejoice in their portion.
Therefore in their land they shall possess double [what they had forfeited]; everlasting joy shall be theirs.
FOR I THE LORD LOVE JUSTICE;
I hate robbery and wrong with violence or a burnt offering.
And I will faithfully give them their RECOMPENSE IN TRUTH, and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with them.
And their offspring shall be known among the nations and their descendants among the peoples.
All who see them [in their prosperity] will recognize and acknowledge that they are the people whom the Lord has blessed.
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
For as [surely as] the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to SPRING FORTH,
so [surely]
THE LORD GOD WILL CAUSE RIGHTNESS AND JUSTICE AND PRAISE TO SPRING FORTH BEFORE ALL THE NATIONS [through the self-fulfilling power of His word.

Zechariah 9:16 says that the Lord’s people will be like jewels in a crown.
In Revelation 21:19-20, John names twelve stones that adorn the foundation of the New Jerusalem
"But Hannah declares, “There is no Rock like our God!” 1 Samuel 2:2. All power belongs to God. Gemstones are all God’s creation. Romans 1:20 says, “since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made.”
Stones in themselves have no power, but they do speak of the power and glory of our God!"
Micah 6:8 (Amplified Bible)
"He has showed you, O man,
what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you but
TO DO JUSTLY,
and TO LOVE KINDNESS and MERCY,
and TO HUMBLE yourself and
walk humbly with your God?"
The Angel speaking with me had a gold measuring stick to measure the City, its gates, and its wall.
The City was laid out in a perfect square.
He measured the City with the measuring stick: twelve thousand stadia, its length, width, and height all equal.
Using the standard measure, the Angel measured the thickness of its wall: 144 cubits. The wall was jasper, the color of Glory, and the City was pure gold, translucent as glass.
The foundations of the City walls were garnished with every precious gem imaginable:
the first foundation jasper,
the second SAPPHIRE,
the third agate,
the fourth emerald,
the fifth onyx,
the sixth carnelian,
the seventh chrysolite,
the eighth beryl,
the ninth topaz,
the tenth chrysoprase,
the eleventh jacinth,
the twelfth amethyst.
The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate a single pearl.
Revelation 21:14-16

(Research below comes from wikapedia and color of gems websites)
1) JASPER
"And He [God] who sat there [on the throne] was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald." Rev 4.3
Justice: Jasper was once considered a Warriors Stone,
so it knows of loyalty, inner strength, and standing up for what you believe in.
A power stone for those who stand for justice and fair play, especially useful for those whose job it is rectify unjust situations.
Green: life (especially new life), growth, fresh, flourishing, prosperity
Green stones: emerald, chrysoprase, peridot, jade, malachite, turquoise, jasper
Jasper, Heb. yshphh; Sept. iaspis; Vulg. jaspis; the twelfth stone of the breastplate (Ex., xxviii, 18; xxxix, 11), representing Benjamin
The Jasper, which like the emerald is of a greenish hue, signifies St. Peter. Jasper: The ancient Hebrew name was Yashpheh. A translucent stone of green hue. Jasper has been known from early times as a fine-grained variety of quartz. It occurs in many different colors and hues, but green was particularly valued. An early variety discovered in India and still mined there today is called bloodstone. It is dark to medium green with small spots of red scattered throughout. It has been said that it originated when Christ's blood fell to the ground and was scattered on the rocks under the Cross, which is a nice story but was used and prized in India long before Christ's birth. However, many early Christians wore it to remind them of Christ's sacrifice.
Ex 28:20, 39:13, Job 28:18, Ezek 28:13, Rev 4:3, 21:11,18,19
Jasper is an opaque variety of chalcedony (quartz). It is most commonly red due to the presence of iron, but can also be found in yellow, brown and green.”Jasper” comes from the Greek word iaspis which is a derivation of the Hebrew word yashepheh coming from a root word meaning “to polish”. In fact, one of the characteristics of jasper is that it is able to take a high polish and was used in ancient times as mantles, pillars, vases, and other interior decorations. Jasper is named as the 12th stone in Aaron’s breastpiece.
Scholars think that the yashepheh here actually refers to a green form of Jasper - which was very rare, and highly prized.
Jasper (iaspis) is mentioned in several places in Revelation,
most noted being the 1st
foundation stone of the New Jerusalem.
Pliny the Elder who lived and wrote around the same time that the book of Revelation was written, describes iaspis as “being green and often transparent” which is of interest since today we consider jasper to be opaque.
2) SAPPHIRE
Blue: heaven, revelation, priesthood, "Jehovah Color"
Blue stones: lapis lazuli, aquamiarine, chalcedony, sapphire
Sapphire, Heb. mghry Septuag. sappheiron; Vulg. sapphirus. Sapphire was the fifth stone of the rational (Ex., xxviii, 19; xxxix, 13), and
represented the tribe of Dan.
It is the seventh stone in Ezech., xxviii, 14 (in the Hebrew text, for it occurs fifth in the Greek text);
it is also the second foundation stone of the celestial Jerusalem (Apoc., xxi, 19
Sapphire has long symbolized truth, sincerity, and faithfulness.
Tradition holds that Moses was given the ten commandments on tablets of sapphire, making it the most sacred gemstone.
Because sapphires represent divine favor, they were the gemstone of choice for kings and high priests.
The British Crown Jewels are full of large blue sapphires, the symbol of pure and wise rulers.
Since sapphire symbolizes sincerity and faithfulness, it is an excellent choice for an engagement ring.
The Sapphire is likened to the Heavens (from this stone is made a color popularly called lazur) and signifies St. Paul.
Sapphire or Lapis Lazuli: The Hebrew name of Sappir.
The sacred character of this stone was attested by the tradition that the Law given to Moses on the Mount was engraved on tablets of sapphire. This is not the blue sapphire we think of as the faceted gemstone, but instead the rich blue stone now relatively popular in jewelry known as lapis or lapis lazuli. It was well known and often used by the ancients as a blue paint pigment when ground to a powder.
Much of what is now sold comes from Afghanistan.
Ex 24:10; 28:18; 39:11; Job 28:6,16; Song 5:14; Isa 54:11; Ezek 1:26; 10:1; 28:13, Rev 21:20
The name of the Sapphire in the Bible is described as
LAPIS LAZULI
Lapis Lazuli is a beautiful, rich ultramarine-blue stone consisting largely of lazurite and speckled with yellow pyrite.
Lapis was one of the most sought after and prized stones of ancient times. It was used for jewelry, ornamentation, seals, and amulets. It was also used extensively for inlaying. Egyptian blue paint was made from finely ground lapis.
This stone has been found in abundance in archaeological digs of ancient civilizations, including King Tut’s tomb which held many beautiful specimens of lapis jewelry dating to 1350 BC. Mines in Afghanistan have been producing gem lapis lazuli for nearly 5000 years and are still the worlds largest producer of the material.
Most scholars agree that lapis lazuli is actually the stone meant for the term “sapphire” in the Bible.
Sapphires were not known before the Roman empire and were initially considered to be jacinth. The Elder Pliny (AD 23-69) gives a description of sappir (translated by most as sapphire) as being like the night sky, spangled with stars, and Theophratus (372-287BC) describes “sappir spotted with gold.” These descriptions definitely indicate the lapis lazul
