    Stunning 2,000-year-old lilac amethyst stone is discovered in Jerusalem
    featuring the first-ever known depiction of balsam
    - a plant prominently mentioned in the Bible.⁣

    would once have been worn on a ring,
    and includes an unusual engraving of a bird
    and a branch from a plant bearing five fruits,
    according to experts from the City of David Foundation,
    who found it during excavations of the Western Wall foundations.

    The branch engraved on the stone was from an expensive plant
    used to make perfume for the temple, and is featured prominently in the Bible
    and other records.

    The temple was destroyed around 70 CE,
    and experts say this ring would have been dropped by someone
    into the drainage channel in the decades before.
