Some translate the word by "polished brass," others "fine brass," as in Revelation 1:15; 2:18. It was probably the mixture now called electrum.

Amber color, or anything amber-colored; a clear light yellow; as, the amber of the sky. 3. (n.) Ambergris. 4. (n.) The balsam, liquidambar. 5. (a.) Consisting of amber; made of amber. 6. (a.)
