What color is urim and thummim?
Technically, the Urim and Thummim are two stones, most often mentioned in connection with a metal breastplate. The stones are often thought to be clear or white and the breastplate silver or gold in color, but the Old Testament never clarifies the colors of these items. Some also believe that each of the stones was a different color, because the Urim was used to determine guilt and the Thummim to determine innocence. In the LDS movement, Joseph Smith described the Urim and Thummim as being triangular in shape and clear like diamond or crystal.

Aaron used the Urim and Thummim to determine God's will for the community of Israel. No one knows exactly what these were, but the Torah is very clear that they were to be used to cast lots.

What are the Mormon's magic spectacles?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) don't have magic spectacles, as they don't believe in magic.

The Urim and Thummim are not uniquely Mormon either, they are from the Bible. Check out Leviticus 8:8, Nehemiah 7:65, Ezra 2:63, Deuteronomy 33:8, and Exodus 28:30.
What else was with the gold plates found by Joseph smith?
With the gold plates were the Urim and Thummim and a breastplate to attach them to. Some also list the Sword of Laban, although the sword is not mentioned in the official account, it is sometimes implied from Doctrine and Covenants 17:1. Additional items have been added, such as the Liahona and several balls of gold, as well as the supplies used for creating the plates - but these are usually considered folklore as they are never mentioned in official accounts. Joseph Smith History verses 34-35 says "He (Moroni) said there was a book deposited, written on gold plates... Also, that there were two stones in silver bows - and these stones, fastened to a breastplate, constituted what is called the Urim and Thummim." Verse 52 describes the first time Joseph saw the plates, "I looked in, and there indeed did I behold the plates, and the Urim and Thummim, and the breastplate, as stated by the messenger."
What purpose did the Urim and Thummim serve?

What was the urim and the thummin?
Urim means light and Thummin means vessels.It first appears here:Shemos: 28:30. You shall place the Urim and the Tummim into the choshen of judgment so that they will be over Aaron's heart when he comes before the Lord, and Aaron will carry the judgment of the children of Israel over his heart before the Lord at all times.Answer:The following answer is from Torah.org and the original can be accessed via the related link: "According to most commentators, the Urim ve-Tumim were the stones in the Kohen Gadol's breastplate (and possibly ephod; see Ex.Ch.28). These stones were engraved with the names of the tribes, and they conveyed messages by lighting up letters. The fact that the stones in the high priest's breastplate were consulted for answers to questions is mentioned in the Bible (e.g., Num.27:21). The Bible doesn't say how it was done; one of the earliest descriptions of the process is in the Aramaic (expanded) translation (Targum Yonasan) of Ex.28:30. Another opinion, attributed to Ibn Ezra, is that the Urim ve-Tumim were made of gold and silver and were stored inside the breastplate; this suggests that they may have been like dice."
