3 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Jacinth \Ja"cinth\, n. [F. jacinthe, L. hyacinthus. See {Hyacinth}.] See {Hyacinth}. --Tennyson. From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: jacinth n : a red transparent variety of zircon used as a gemstone [syn: {hyacinth}] From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: Jacinth properly a flower of a reddish blue or deep purple (hyacinth), and hence a precious stone of that colour (Rev. 21:20). It has been supposed to designate the same stone as the ligure (Heb. leshem) mentioned in Ex 28:19 as the first stone of the third row in the high priest's breast-plate. In Rev. 9:17 the word is simply descriptive of colour.
