Dict: easton - Amber

easton:

Amber @ kjv@Ezekiel:1:4 kjv@Ezekiel:1:27 kjv@Ezekiel:8:2. Heb., hashmal, rendered by the LXX. elektron, and by the Vulgate electrum), a metal compounded of silver and gold. Some translate the word by "polished brass," others "fine brass," as in kjv@Revelation:1:15 kjv@Revelation:2:18. It was probably the mixture now called electrum. The word has no connection, however, with what is now called amber, which is a gummy substance, reckoned as belonging to the mineral kingdom though of vegetable origin, a fossil resin.
