Haydock's commentary
Gold. This is the third time it has been mentioned, according to its different degrees of excellence. Hence it is called by the most common name, (Calmet) zahab. (Haydock)
Crystal was formerly more "transparent" than we have it at present. (Calmet)
Zecucith (Haydock) denotes something of this kind. (Calmet)
