One of my 8th grade students was recently baptized. She was asking me where gold was mentioned in Revelation and as I was preparing to help her, she said "21:21". Then she asked, "What kind of gold is so pure that you can see through it?" I admitted that I had no idea, nor did anyone else ... at least, not yet.
I've looked through all of the translations available to me through E-Sword and they all talk about gold that is so pure it is either transparent as glass or clear as crystal. Despite the differences of opinion about various words/verses in the Scripture translations, everyone fully agrees that John absolutely saw a street paved with gold so pure you could see right through it.
