Goshenite: properties of the stone and use in jewelry

Golden beryl which is also known as “ Heliodor ”, which in Greek means: Helios (sun god) and “Doron” (gift). What in Greek mythology means the gift of the sun god. This beautiful yellow translucent mineral fully lives up to its name.

Yellow beryl was first discovered in Africa in the Namibia region in 1910, during the mining of aquamarines, which are also a type of beryl. The company that discovered the new mineral called it Heliodor. And in 1914, for Wilhelm II, the last German emperor, a luxurious ring with gold beryl was made. But the popularity of the new find never came; the First World War intervened and everyone forgot about this precious stone.

Currently, Heliodor is mined in Namibia, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and Brazil in Madagascar.

Historical reference

Beryl and emerald were already known in the times of Pliny and Theophrastus. Most varieties of beryl have been used in jewelry since ancient times, although due to their different colors they were considered different stones; no distinction was often made between them and similar minerals.

Thus, in ancient times only yellow varieties were called beryl; green ones were often considered peridot, and colorless ones were not distinguished from quartz.

Ancient Egypt primarily used yellow beryl, but it is unknown where exactly the Egyptians mined it. Perhaps the mines were located on the territory of present-day Somalia or Ethiopia, but now nothing is known about mineral deposits in North Africa.

Beryl (it is not known what variety) was one of the stones with which the breastplate of the Jewish high priest was decorated.

Currently, jewelers call beryl only yellow or golden transparent crystals of a certain chemical composition. There is also base beryl; it is a raw material for the production of beryllium metal, the price of which is high.

Fake diamond

During the 20th century, various European countries, as well as the USSR, repeatedly tried to synthesize beryl, but did not achieve much success. The synthetic crystals obtained as a result of the experiments differed from natural stone either in physical properties - hardness, refractive indices of light, density - or in chemical composition. Composites obtained in 1960 in Austria had the greatest similarity to true beryl. They had a base of ordinary transparent beryl, on which layers of synthetic emerald were built up.

At the moment, there are no synthetic gems of this group that can deceive a professional jeweler. But research and experiments in this area continue.

Place of Birth

Beryl
The largest deposits of beryl are located in the Urals (Russia), South America (Colombia, Brazil), Madagascar, etc.

• Common beryls are found in Bodenmais (Bavaria), Limoges (France), on the island of Elba, in Sweden (Fynbo, Brodbo), in Cornwallis, etc.
• In Russia, deposits of noble beryl are Murzinka and Shaitanka in the Sverdlovsk region. Unfortunately, these mines are almost completely exhausted.
• The famous Emerald mines of the Urals near the village of Izumrud in the Urals provide excellent cutting raw materials for emerald.
• Beautiful large aquamarine crystals are mined in Transbaikalia (Adun-Chelon).
• Large deposits of beryl are confined to the pegmatites of the eastern part of the Kola Peninsula (Strelninskoye, Voronetundrovskoye, etc.), in which cut colorless and yellow transparent beryls are sometimes found.
• The best deposits of noble beryl abroad are considered to be the Coimbatore district in the East Indies, Minas Girays (Brazil) and Colombia.
• Rare finds of beryl crystals are known in the Alto Ligonya region of Mozambique.
• Beautiful heliodor crystals from Ukrainian pegmatites of the Zhytomyr region are widely known.

To search for beryllium deposits, a geophysical method is used - beryllometry.

Mining locations

Deposits of beryl are found in pegmatite rocks, in particular granites, as well as in rocks containing quartz, its derivatives and mica. This mineral often accompanies rock crystal, morion, topaz and feldspars.

The jewelry variety of beryl is mined in Russia on the Ilmen ridge (part of the Urals, near Miass), in the Murzinka and Shaitanka deposits, in the emerald mines of the Tokovaya River, as well as in the pegmatites of the eastern part of the Kola Peninsula. In other countries, production is carried out: in India - Coimbatore district, in Brazil - Minas Gerais, in Colombia. On the African continent, there are deposits in the southern African states of Mozambique and Namibia. Some particularly rare varieties were mined in the United States of America, but their extraction has now ceased.

Industrial beryl is mined in France, Germany, Sweden and Ukraine.

Both individual crystals and druses of this stone are found in nature. They can reach large sizes. It is theoretically possible to detect a crystal weighing several kilograms, although the likelihood of this is extremely low.

Physical and chemical properties

Without exception, all minerals of the beryllium group are a complex compound of beryllium oxide, aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide with a percentage predominance of the latter. Impurities may contain iron, manganese, and in small quantities uranium and other metals, which act as chromatophores that provide the color of the stone.

This is a hard gem - 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale. It is on the same level as topaz, second only to diamond - 10 units, and corundum - 9. The luster is glassy. Noble beryl is characterized by transparency, while industrial beryl is opaque and has a white or grayish color.

Resistant to caustic acids and alkalis. Melts at very high temperatures.

Colors and varieties of beryl

Pure beryl is colorless. Glass shine. The variety of colors of crystals is determined by the composition of impurities: various shades of blue, bluish-green, yellow colors are associated with an admixture of Fe, red or pink - with an admixture of Mn, bright green is due to an admixture of Cr.

Depending on the color there are:

• Augustite, or maxis beryl, is dark blue.

Augustite

• Aquamarine - blue, greenish blue.

Ordinary beryl is opaque, white or gray in color, is quite widespread, and, when found in large concentrations, is mined as ore to obtain beryllium.

Transparent varieties of beryl are used as jewelry (precious) stones.

Emerald (English Smaragd, Emeraude) is valued as a jewelry stone of the highest class (order), along with diamond, ruby ​​and cornflower blue sapphire.

Aquamarine and all varieties of noble beryl are also highly valued as jewelry stones.

History and origin

Beryl has been known to people since ancient civilizations. The countries of the Middle East, Greece, Egypt, India - all these peoples knew about the gem more than six thousand years before us. Only by the concept of “beryl” or “beryllos” the ancients meant many transparent and hard stones of green, blue or yellow shades. Therefore, chrysoprase could be called beryl, but beryl itself was confused with quartz.

The study of ancient Egyptian civilization made it possible to find out that the Egyptians knew many gems, in particular beryl. This mineral decorated the tombs of some pharaohs of the ancient state. Scientists suggest that the Egyptians had their own deposits of the mineral, but history is silent about them.

The same mining sites that are being developed today are located on the other end of the African continent, having no relation to the territory of Egypt. There is also an opinion that, along with the mines (an outdated name for a structure for above-ground and underground mining of minerals) of many gems, Queen Cleopatra also owned beryl deposits.

The history of the name of the mineral stretches like a thread through many languages. The original dialect from which the name of the stone comes is considered to be the Dravidian language. Thus, the name of the gem is equated to the name of the Indian city of Belur. From Dravidian the word gradually passes into Sanskrit, and from there into Prakrit and Pali languages. Then the Greek name migrates to Latin, where it means “gem the color of sea water.” Ultimately, the name “beryl” came into Russian from Latin through Romance dialects.

Do you know that beryl is one of the twelve stones that adorned the pectoral of the high priest of Judah. It is an unknown fact which type of mineral was displayed on the breastplate.

Today, by beryl, jewelers mean only a golden-yellow variety of the mineral, the transparent crystals of which are endowed with a certain composition and properties. Such a nugget is called “noble beryl”, considered a second-order gem of the first group of classification of precious stones. Its cost is only slightly lower than that of an emerald, and some rare examples are valued at more than diamonds.

Base beryl is used in industry as a source of beryllium, an expensive and valuable metal. To detect deposits of raw materials, geophysicists use a special method called berylometry.

How to recognize a fake

Opaque beryl stone
Attempts to create an artificial beryl stone have so far been unsuccessful. Of course, sometimes scammers try to pass off an ordinary piece of glass or a piece of plastic as a real gem, but it is very easy to expose them. Just try to scratch the crystal with a blade or needle. You cannot damage a real gem.

For high-quality counterfeiting of a mineral, it is necessary to completely recreate its chemical composition, unique to each deposit. As a result, making a bracelet from such a perfect counterfeit will be as expensive as from a real stone, and the meaning of the fake will be lost.

Sometimes it happens that one variety of beryl is passed off as another, which costs more.

To distinguish an emerald from a cheaper but similar stone, you will need some kind of heavy liquid, such as bromoform. A real jewel will sink in such a liquid, while a cheap one will float. You can also place the gem under an ultraviolet lamp. Semi-precious emerald analogues will have a bright reflection, while a genuine crystal will have a duller light.

Usually they try to fake either an emerald or an aquamarine. Now such work is carried out out of pure scientific enthusiasm; there is no commercial sense in it. There are methods in which cheap stone is given the desired shade using heating, but so far they are just being developed.

Carefully!

It happens that emerald is glued together in several layers, and a thin plate of expensive stone is only the outer layer. In this case, you need to carefully look at how the beryl looks in the photograph in a jewelry laboratory; you are unlikely to be able to distinguish a fake on your own.

This is interesting

Interesting and fascinating information about a unique stone:

1. Beryl means "spectacles" in German. This may be due to the fact that the first reading lenses were made from the mineral. This is one of the versions of the origin of the name of the stone, but mineralologists do not take it seriously, since the name of the mineral was known long before the invention of glasses.
2. Many years ago, travelers used the crystal as a talisman on their way. It was believed that he would ward off all failures and disasters during his travels.
3. In laboratories in the 20th century, Austrian scientists managed to obtain an ultra-precise imitation of beryllium, which is difficult to expose even for experienced mineralogists. Therefore, it is impossible to independently determine the counterfeit; you should contact the laboratory.
4. There are only 35 thousand copies of red faceted beryl left on the planet. They are extremely expensive and can only be purchased at auction. Mostly such crystals are kept in museums and private collections. Also, blue samples are considered unique nuggets.

Beryl is a precious stone with a varied color palette that will not leave anyone indifferent, so there is hardly a person who will refuse such an attractive piece of jewelry.

The magical properties of beryl

Yellow beryl pendant (heliodor)
Noble beryl is endowed with a number of magical qualities that directly affect people's lives. The nugget acts as:

• "Sorter" of energy. Beryl tends to attract positive energy to its owner. In this case, the stone plays the role of a barrier, repelling all negativity from a person.
• Family amulet. All the rough edges of family relationships are smoothed out if there is a beryl item in the house.
• Talisman of good luck in legal disputes. The greenish-golden nugget is an excellent assistant to lawyers of any kind whose work involves defending someone’s rights in court.

Amulets made from the mineral are important for people whose area of ​​activity is exclusively mental. The stone is endowed with properties that can influence the clarity of human consciousness, relieve chronic fatigue, and sharpen the mind. Thanks to this, the owner of the gem will be able to complete the work begun, avoiding mistakes. The talisman will maintain a working spirit, preventing the owner from mentally “burning out.”

Talismans, amulets, amulets

Ring “Frog Princess” - beryl-emerald, silver
Belief in supernatural phenomena prompted people to create protection for themselves and their loved ones in the form of animals imprinted in stone or other materials.

There was a whole business based on the manufacture and sale of amulets and talismans. There is some truth in this, since people have always been born who were close to nature and felt its processes.

They could predict the future, advise what to do, what could help in a difficult situation.

For example, if a person wanted to make peace with his enemy, then he was recommended to give the enemy a frog made of beryl stone.

Since minerals and labor were expensive and the person was glad to receive an unexpected gift, reconciliation was usually easy.

The meaning is rather not in the philosophy of the stone, but in the very action of people in relation to each other. But the goal was achieved, therefore, it was necessary to continue listening to the predictor.

It was believed that an emerald in a gold frame was a symbol of intelligence and wealth. The only question is – what comes first?

A person needed to think about where to get or for what to buy such an expensive thing. I had to think hard about financial well-being. Eventually, the idea came to the thinker, and he became rich.

Most likely, the person attributed the appearance of wealth to the emerald. In fact, he created his own success, and the mineral was just the initial goal.

Talismans were purchased by people to be confident in the future. The stones were a symbol of hope and allowed one not to lose courage in difficult situations.

Healing properties

Men's ring with beryl
Please note: hereinafter we will refer to ordinary noble beryl - golden-greenish, a fairly common subspecies of the mineral. The fact is that the healing and magical properties of different beryls differ, and each type should be considered from the point of view of lithotherapy, magic and astrology as an independent mineral.

This gem has the following meaning for a person: it affects the heart chakra and the solar plexus chakra. This means affecting primarily the organs located in the chest and upper abdomen. Among them:

• lungs;
• heart;
• organs of the digestive system - esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, spleen.

The greenish-yellow stone will relieve you of colds, inflammation of the bronchi and lungs, help calm the heart during arrhythmia, and normalize blood pressure. He will make sure that the gastrointestinal tract organs are in order, will put metabolic processes (metabolism) in order, and will alleviate pain in the thoracic spine.

There is evidence that beryl is useful for women with various gynecological pathologies. The energy of the stone is receptive yin, just feminine.

Importance of the mineral for health

Beryl can not only complement your brilliant image and give all sorts of spiritual benefits, it will also take care of your health. The mineral will help avoid the development of certain ailments and cure existing ones.

First of all, it is worth saying that the gem generally strengthens the human immune system and stimulates the body’s defenses. The stone is of particular importance for the health of the digestive system, it improves metabolic processes and even helps to lose weight. And in ancient times, such a terrible disease as cancer was treated with the mineral.

It is important in what form a person wears beryl.

• Earrings decorated with stones will also help cure headaches and toothaches.
• A bracelet or ring will help establish healthy functioning of the reproductive system.
• The pendant will save you from even advanced respiratory diseases, including helping you quit smoking.
• Beryl keychains will improve men's health.

Lithotherapists (doctors who use natural stones for treatment) use minerals as a means of healing from back pain and colds. The therapy technique is as follows: the gem is placed on the painful organ and a beam of light is directed at it.

Areas of application

Silver Jewelry with Natural Beryl
Beautifully colored beryl and varieties of beryl are popular gemstones used as gemstones in jewelry. Good specimens of beryl are highly valued and adorn collections and museum collections.

The frame is made from the metal that best suits the specific type of stone; usually, the more expensive the gem, the more noble the metal chosen.

Various small crafts, signets, and carved jewelry are also made from beryl, and opaque stones (“ordinary beryl”) are an ore mineral and serve as a source for producing beryllium oxide. It is a hard but brittle silvery-white metal that resembles aluminum. The substance is used:

• For alloying alloys. Have you heard about beads, bracelets and rings made of “gypsy gold”? This is beryllium treated bronze.
• For the manufacture of X-ray tubes.
• In nuclear reactors as a neutron reflector.
• In laser technology.
• As a material for spaceships and aircraft.
• To obtain rocket fuel.
• For thermal insulation of laboratory furnaces.
• For sound amplifiers.

Products made from beryl are an important attribute of a truly luxurious interior. They even carve beautiful figurines from large stones.

Mineral Compatibility

Beryl combines harmoniously with opal, turquoise, rock crystal, moonstone, jasper and ruby.

Combination with sardonyx and malachite is not recommended. The only metal that enhances the properties of stones is cupronickel.

How to wear beryl jewelry

Aquamarine Earrings
Before wearing a mineral, you need to buy it at the right time. Of course, this only applies to those stones whose purpose is a healing or magical talisman. Thus, it is recommended to buy beryl not on lunar days, but according to the calendar of the Archbishop of the Rhine, according to which the best time to purchase the mineral is October and November. It is believed that the middle and end of autumn marks the annual “break”, during which the stone is saturated with the most power.

Beryl is a multifaceted mineral, so wearing rules are based on the type of appearance:

• For brunettes with light skin, all stones of bright colors of green, blue and yellow are suitable.
• Blondes should pay attention to aquamarine and bazzite.
• Green-eyed and brown-eyed beauties with red hair choose emeralds or goshenites.
• And girls with light eyes, light brown or brown hair will be complemented by all yellow gems, including heliodor.

How to care for stone

Pendant with aquamarine
As a durable gemstone, beryl does not require any special care. Beryl accessories will last a long time if you follow simple rules.

Stones:

• It is forbidden to drop or subject to shock;
• hold or wear for a long time in bright light - they will fade and become faded;
• should not come into contact with an acidic environment;
• should be cleaned in soapy water with added ammonia.

If the stone setting is made of silver, clean it with baking soda and then rinse the jewelry in cool water. The silver frame is cleaned with a special product so that it does not get on the stone.

Beryl is a whole family of precious stones and gems of similar composition and occurrence. Each of the selected miners is endowed with unique qualities. The main thing is to accurately choose “your” beryl; it will become a wonderful decoration for your collection.

Product care rules

Beryl is unpretentious to use, but a few simple rules are worth remembering:

• It is better not to drop products containing minerals. Despite the high hardness, internal microcracks affect the fragility of gems.
• To remove dirt, soapy water and a couple of drops of ammonia are enough.
• Do not expose gems to prolonged exposure to sunlight. Otherwise they will fade.

Silver jewelry is usually cleaned with baking soda and rinsed with warm water. This option is suitable for jewelry with stone inserts. However, a special cleaning composition for silver can damage gems, so when cleaning you should avoid getting the product on the mineral.
