each of the gates was made from a single pearl

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "someone had made each of the gates from a single pearl" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive)

pure gold, like transparent glass

The gold was so clear that it is spoken of as if it were glass. See how you translated a similar phrase in Revelation 21:18. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile)
