Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.
Context
This line is written by John of Patmos in Revelation 21:11.
Here John sees a vision of the New Jerusalem—the one that'll pop up right around the time Jesus comes again. And it's a beaut. It was like a precious stone, and obviously pretty clear.
Where you've heard it

Pretentious Factor

The verdict on this one is crystal clear: not pretentious at all.
