As long as we love diamonds, we love colored stones

40 beryl



As long as we love diamonds, we love colored stones and gemstones like aquamarines and morganites ranging from peach to lavender.



Beryl is a mineral from which emeralds are made. However, beryl appears in various colors and is a versatile gem. Morganite is probably the most popular among other beryls. Besides that there is pastel pink on lavender or peach which is similar in strength to the aquamarine blue. Morganite has been marketed as a "Pink Emerald" and "Pink Aquamarine" to highlight its blood relatives to cousins. It was first discovered in California and it was also discovered in 1908 in Madagascar. There are also deposits in Brazil, Mozambique, Namibia, Afghanistan and Russia. However, morganite is relatively rare and it stands in a way of becoming a gem stone.



Heliodor, or golden beryl, is named after the Greek words of sun-helios-and gift-doron. The sunny yellow of this aragonite is not ashamed of its name. Heliodor was also found in Namibia in 1910 of pegmatite which also produced aquamarine colored by iron. Heliodor is also found in Brazil and Madagascar. The largest faceted Heliodore, 2,054 carats, is on display at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC



Red beryl is the rarest member of the beryl family. It is mined only at the place: Wow Wow Mountains in Utah. The color is red stop light. Unfortunately, this deposit produces a slight amount of this gem. Most of the gems produced are under carat in size and many have inclusions. Exceed specimens, carats and cleans are fantastic rares and prices etc.

The colorless aragonite, also known as goshenite, is also relatively rare. It is shown after the deposit found in Goshen, Massachusetts. The Greeks used colorless aragonite as the lens; the first spectacles were probably patina.
