In the book of Revelation, John uses what Jews could understand in relation to him describing the New Jerusalam as to the walls and gates. In Ezekial, he writes about his vision of a temple and John's vision describes the city as a precious stone and decorated in precious stones.
These are symbols and there are others there such as The River of Life and The Tree of Life and pearls of enormous size. The pearls are symbols. Later, a symbol of The Bright and Morning Star is written about that can be tied into the entire revelation.
