Beryl Specimen – Emerald
$4.00 – $17.00
Emerald, a green beryl, is to help keep partnerships in balance which is re-enforced by basalt that helps learn life lessons.
You need to read more on tabs about their low quality in terms of colour but for a younger geological collector they are perfect.
These are Emerald Crystals that grew in basalt. There is a sparkling crystal druzy on most so I guess it’s mica.
They are real emerald but poorer quality than is used for jewellery. However for most you can see green and even some crystals do show the beryl hexagonal form.
This batch is clearance prices as colour is poor so better for a geologically interested person wanting to look at the different crystals growing together than a child wanting a brightly coloured “emerald” crystal. I wet them to enhance what colour there was. To be honest most should just be called the family name of Beryl.
This crystal brings loyalty and provides for domestic bliss. It enhances unconditional love, unity and promotes friendship. Use it if you want a healing effect on the emotions as well as the physical heart.
- Dimensions for “B”.
- The poorest are “A”
Enjoy picking the emerald specimen budget for your cluster.

Geological Information
Geological Information of Beryl
General Identification
To read more about these and other members: geological information.
Aquamarine
Aquamarine is a blue or cyan variety of beryl. It occurs at most localities which yield ordinary beryl. The gem-gravel placer deposits of Sri Lanka contain aquamarine. Lovely specimens have been found in USA, China and Afghanistan. Green-yellow beryl, such as that occurring in Brazil, is sometimes called chrysolite aquamarine.. The deep blue version of aquamarine is called maxixe. Maxixe is commonly found in the country of Madagascar. Its color fades to white when exposed to sunlight or is subjected to heat treatment, though the color returns with irradiation.
Emerald
Emerald is green beryl, colored by trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium. Most emeralds are highly included, so their brittleness (resistance to breakage) is classified as generally poor. Hence why it was one of the first gem stones to be synthesised for the jewellery trade.
Morganite
also known as "pink beryl", "rose beryl", "pink emerald" (is a forbidden trade name), and "cesian (or caesian) beryl", is an uncommon light pink to rose-colored gem-quality variety of beryl. Orange/yellow varieties of morganite can also be found, and color banding is common. It can be routinely heat treated to remove patches of yellow and is occasionally treated by irradiation to improve its color. The pink color of morganite is attributed to Mn2+ ions.
Golden Beryl
golden yellow colour is attributed to Fe3+ ions. Golden beryl is used as gems.
Heliodore
green-yellow colour. Heliodor is used as gems.
Goshenite
Colourless beryl. The gem value of goshenite is relatively low. However, goshenite can be colored yellow, green, pink, blue and in intermediate colors by irradiating it with high-energy particles.
Red Beryl
Formerly known as "bixbite". Scarlet or red emerald is a forbidden trade name, Red beryl is very rare. While gem beryls are ordinarily found in pegmatites and certain metamorphic stones, red beryl occurs in topaz-bearing rhyolites. Hence it is also highly included therefore brittle.
