The materials are symbolic also.
(Rev 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald )
(1 Pet 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. )
Just as Jesus is the called the corner stone symbolically of the temple:
(Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone)
(Eph 2:2 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord)

Considering you see Revelation as spiritual and not literal help me with this verse...Revelation 13:15
"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast,that the image of the beast should both speak,and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."
Now those who don't worship the image are killed if they had worshiped the image then they would be deceived and then this would be a spiritual death. But they are not deceived as it seems because they don't worship the image so the only death that would be left to consider is a literal,carnal,physical death do you agree?
