Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
χρυσίον καθαρὸν, ὅμοιον ὑάλῳ καθαρῷ
gold pure similar ˱to˲_glass clean
The point of this comparison is that the gold from which the city was made was clear and bright, just as pure glass has no imperfections that keep it from reflecting light or letting light through. Alternate translation: “is gold that is as clear and bright as pure glass”
