Male and Female Gemstones !?

If this thread is still alive I would like to point out that the notion of 
gemstones breeding is found in the Sefer "Shiltay Geborim" by Rabbi Doctor 
Avrohom ben Dovid Shaar Aryeh, published in Mantua, Italy in 1612.

This interesting pioneer work is, as far as I know, the first attempt to 
cover all the physical requirements of the Beis Hamikdosh in "modern" terms- 
vessels, music etc.
