The Old Testament's book of Ezekiel mentions precious stones like beryl, carbuncle, diamonds, emeralds and more. This means that these stones were likely available in the Middle East where the Scriptures were written. Also, the books of Job, Isaiah and others also mentions jewels. So where are these precious stones? Well, at this year's National Religious Broadcasters convention in Orlando, a company called Holy Gems displayed some of the jewelry they've made using the precious stones excavated in the land of Israel. The search for these stones took decades, and the man who began the search didn't live to see them unearthed. But his daughter did. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Tali Shalom Taube, the CEO of Holy Gems, is joined by Shari Rigby, well-known veteran actress from the Kendrick Brothers film Overcomer. They talk about their collaboration on the Holy Gems project, bringing the jewels to the market, and producing a faith-based documentary about the discovery.
