I saw this recently watching a 9 part series on the book of Revelation by David Pawson. I'll give you the summary below, but here is the link:

Here is an absolute proof that the Bible is the word of God. And normally when you hear that kind of statement it ends up being more theorization of If-Then statements, but this is what in my opinion is a scientific, provable fact. In the 1970s polarized light was discovered. It is a way of filtering out bounced light and so we were able to make a more pure clean light compared to light bouncing all over the place like we see in the normal world. A former president of the Emerald Foundation in Britain wondered what would happen if he took thin slices of various gemstones and shown this pure light through them. And he discovered that there's two distinct types of gemstones, either anisotropic or isotropic. The difference is, with the anisotropic stones, the light passing through them turn into vibrant, brilliant colors representing all the colors of the rainbow regardless of the color of the gemstone. However, isotropic stones lose all their brilliance when lit with a direct beam of light through them and basically just look like a lump of coal. Now when you go to Revelation 21:19-20, you'll see a list of all the stones they consist of the new Jerusalem that God builds in the end times.

19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

And all those stones are anisotropic. And there are no stones, like diamonds, listed that are isotropic. So God had chosen twelve stones that will look brilliant in the pure light of the new Jerusalem and none of the ones that are going to look dull. This difference has only been discovered in the last 50 years and so there's no way that John, who wrote Revelation, could have known the difference or what to list there, or even been able to guess the stones even if he did know there was a difference. Back then, only God would have known the difference between the two and which ones will look brilliant and which ones will not. That list of stone couldn’t have come from man, without God showing or telling him what to include on that list.
