R. Akiba said to them: When ye arrive at the stones of pure marble, say not, water, water! For it is said: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
From here can be derived an explanation that seems to me better than others. "Water water" refers to separation of waters below and above the firmament in Genesis 1, the marble stones represent the separated waters in Pardes/Olam HaBa; but there/then, separation is no more ("the realm of purity"); hence R. Akiva's warning: do not say they are still separate there.
This line of explanation can be loosely suggested by the commentary on Vayelech by R. Schneerson/R. Sacks.
