'Precious' in the Bible

When the king commanded, they quarried great stones [and] precious stones to lay [the] foundation of the house [with] hewn stones.

All of these [were] of precious stones, according to the measurement of dressed stone, sawn with a saw {on all sides}; from [the] foundation up to the eaves and from [the] outside up to the great courtyard.

[The] foundation [was of] precious stones, [and] large stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits

with precious stones above, {just the right size}, and cedar.

So she came to Jerusalem with very great wealth; [with] camels carrying spices, very much gold, and precious stones. She came to Solomon, and she spoke to him all that was on her heart.

Then she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, abundant spices, and precious stones. Spices as these did not come again in such abundance [as that which] the queen of Sheba brought to King Solomon.

Moreover, the fleet of ships of Hiram which carried the gold from Ophir [also] brought from Ophir abundant amounts of almug wood and precious stones.
