Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ὁ φωστὴρ αὐτῆς ὅμοιος λίθῳ τιμιωτάτῳ
the radiance ˱of˲_it similar ˱to˲_/a/_stone most_precious
The point of this comparison is that the brilliance or luster of the city was bright and beautiful. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “its brilliance was bright and beautiful, like that of a most precious stone”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
ὅμοιος λίθῳ τιμιωτάτῳ, ὡς λίθῳ ἰάσπιδι
similar ˱to˲_/a/_stone most_precious as ˱to˲_/a/_stone jasper
These two phrases mean the same thing. The first is a general statement and the second is a specific example. John is using repetition to emphasize the idea that the phrases express. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them. Alternate translation: “like a very precious jasper stone”

ἰάσπιδι κρυσταλλίζοντι
jasper crystalizing
See how you translated the word jasper in 4:3 and the word crystal in 4:6.
21:11 Like the true people of God, the glory of the city reflects God’s glory (cp. Exod 34:29-35; 2 Cor 3:7-11).
• Jasper (see also Rev 4:3; 21:11, 18) is opaque on earth; the heavenly jasper is clear as crystal, having a transparency that mirrors God’s purity and integrity.
