 Amber
    (Ezek. 1:4, 27; 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 Rev. 1:15; 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.
