Exodus 28:17-21 tells us, "Mount four rows of gemstones on it (the chest piece). The first row will contain a red carnelian, a pale green peridot, and en emerald. The second row will contain a turquoise, a blue lapis lazuli, and a white moonstone. The third row will contain an orange jacinth, an agate, and a purple amethyst. The fourth row will contain a blue-green bery , an onyx, and a green jasper. All these stones will be set in gold filigree. Each stone will represent one of the twelve sons of Israel, and the name of that tribe will be engraved on it like a seal."

There were 12 gemstones, one for each tribe. Look up Iconomic Institute.

Look them up in the Bible or at a Bible web site. Why would it matter what stones were used?
