What does LIGURE mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
A precious stone named among the twelve gems set into the breastplate of the high priest in the Book of Exodus, now usually identified with the jacinth.
The ligure is known almost entirely from one line of scripture, where it is listed alongside eleven other stones without any further description of its colour or shape. Later translators disagreed about which actual gem the ligure named, and modern Bible versions often replace it with jacinth or another stone entirely. The word survives today mainly in commentaries on the priestly breastplate rather than in the language of gem trading.
