The oldest stone Beryl: properties, selection of photos, ring with beryl

History and origin

This is a fairly old stone that has been known to people since the times of ancient civilizations. It was popular in India, Greece, Egypt and the Middle East more than 6,000 years ago. Moreover, by the name “beryl”, ancient people could understand many transparent and hard stones that have blue, yellow, and green shades.

Thanks to the study of the civilization of Ancient Egypt, it was possible to establish that at that time many gems were already known, including beryl. This mineral was used to decorate the tombs of the pharaohs. Researchers suggest that there were deposits of these stones in Ancient Egypt. However, there is no exact evidence for this.

The name of the mineral appears in many languages. The original dialect from which this word originates is the Dravidian language. The concept is associated with the Indian city of Belur. At the same time, from the Dravidian language this word gradually penetrated into Sanskrit. The Greek term then found its way into Latin.

Today, jewelers call beryl only a golden-yellow type of mineral, the crystals of which are distinguished by a transparent structure, have a certain composition and specific characteristics. Such a gem is called noble. This is a second-order mineral of the first group, which is a gemstone. The cost of such a gem is only slightly lower than the price of an emerald. Some rare specimens may even cost more than diamonds.

Base types of unprocessed beryl are used in industry. They are a source of beryllium, an expensive and valuable metal.

Note! To find deposits of raw materials, a special method is even used. It's called berylometry.

The most popular varieties of mineral

Among the most popular and especially valuable varieties of beryl, crystals with pronounced colors should be noted. They are often used in jewelry and regularly replenish the collections of true connoisseurs of “stone” beauty.

Morganites (vorobievites) are also highly valued They can be painted in either pale pink or dark burgundy. The cost directly depends on the brightness of the shade. The richer it is, the more you will have to pay for each carat.

Aquamarines , strongly associated with the salty sea breeze, are valued somewhat less than emeralds solely due to the high level of production. Luxurious and attractive, the nugget can be uniformly colored, or it can be a crystal with a golden core and rich turquoise outer layers.

Light green crystal with a pronounced golden-honey undertone - heliodor

A light green crystal with a pronounced golden-honey undertone - heliodor . Gained popularity at a time when the demand for blue aquamarines throughout the world was especially high. This is due to the fact that when heated to 400C, the stone turns from green-golden to blue.

Advice! Do you want to purchase a laconic and stylish piece of jewelry, but do you think the diamond shine is excessive and not always appropriate? Note the discreet Goshenite. An original silver necklace or gold bracelet with colorless beryl is inexpensive, but looks truly impressive.

Little known and beautiful

Less known to the general public, but no less beautiful, are other varieties. This:

• Blue augustite is an expensive, but unstable to solar radiation nugget;
• Blue bazzite , characterized by a high content of scandium in its composition;
• The mesmerizing bixbite , called red emerald by connoisseurs and being the rarest jewelry stone in existence;
• Berry pezzotaite , characterized by rich color and increased concentration of cesium;
• Machiche beryl is blue in color, the price of which is low due to its ability to lose its natural attractiveness under the influence of the merciless energy of the sun.

Advice! Before purchasing, you should pay attention not only to its external characteristics of the stone, but also to the place of its extraction. By learning which deposits are the most valuable, you can make a good investment in jewelry.

Physicochemical characteristics

What is beryl? These are minerals belonging to the category of silicates. They contain aluminum ions and oxygen. It also contains silicon and beryllium. These components are supplemented with different types of alkalis. These include iron, sodium, chromium, helium, and argon. Depending on the concentration of the listed elements, the properties of beryl change and how much it costs on the market. Impurities also affect the appearance of beryl.

A typical property of beryl is hardness. According to the Mohs scale, it is 7.5-8. According to this indicator, the mineral is second only to diamonds and corundum. Another feature of crystals is resistance to acids and alkalis. Melting of the gem occurs at a very high temperature.

The description of the beryl mineral indicates the following properties:

• formula – Al2[Be3(Si6O18)];
• hexonal system;
• hardness – 7.5-8;
• transparent or translucent structure;
• imperfect cleavage;
• glass shine;
• density – 2.6-2.9 g/cm3;
• red, white, green, blue, yellow tint.

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.

Areas of use

This natural stone is actively used for making jewelry. It is combined with a metal frame, choosing it depending on the type of gem. The higher the cost of the crystal, the more noble the metal should be used.

Stones that are not suitable for jewelry are used to obtain beryllium. It is a hard metal with a silvery-white hue. Its properties are somewhat similar to aluminum. This substance is used to solve the following problems:

• alloying of alloys;
• production of X-ray tubes;
• manufacturing of laser equipment;
• obtaining rocket fuel;
• production of sound amplifiers;
• thermal insulation of laboratory furnaces.

The mineral is also often used for decorative purposes. Beryl figurines or interior items are highly valued.

Other types

In addition to the main varieties of beryl described, there are other specimens. For example, in Brazil, dark blue stones are mined. These are Augustites or Maxis. In Italy there is a deposit of light blue gems, which are called bazzites. These minerals are not suitable for use in jewelry production. A black mineral is quite rare. It has an original appearance: its edges are light blue and the center is painted black.

is unusual in its color range . This is a bright red beryl with purple tints. It was first discovered at the beginning of the 21st century on the island of Madagascar. A little later, its deposits were discovered in Myanmar and Afghanistan. Augustites, bazzites and pezzottaites have a very beautiful appearance, but their strength is quite low. That is why all these specimens are unsuitable for creating jewelry.

Pezzottaite is unusual in its color range.

Varieties and colors

There are different varieties of beryl. They differ in shades. Beryl gets its color from impurities that penetrate its crystal lattice. Therefore, there is no specific shade characteristic of this mineral.

The most famous types of these gems include the following:

1. Emerald is considered the most expensive and beautiful representative of this family. Large and transparent emeralds can be more expensive than diamonds. The deep green color of the stones is obtained due to the presence of chromium and vanadium.
2. Green beryl is a simplified version of emerald. The mineral is less transparent and more affordable. Nevertheless, it is very popular among jewelers. Fraudsters often try to pass off this mineral as a genuine emerald.
3. Goshenite is a white mineral that has an almost transparent structure. It is often called beige beryl.
4. Aquamarine is blue beryl. It is quite expensive. The mineral may have a sea green hue or a brighter azure color. The unique shade is due to the presence of chromium and iron.
5. Vorobievite is a pink beryl. It is mainly mined in Madagascar. Magnesium gives the mineral its delicate shade.
6. Heliodor is yellow beryl. In Greek, its name means “gift of the sun.” This golden beryl glows beautifully in the sun. It is characterized by many shades - rich honey or delicate amber.
7. Machishe - this noble mineral also has a bright blue color. However, it easily loses its shade when heated or exposed to ultraviolet light.
8. Augustite is a rare variety of beryl that commands a high price. The crystals have a rich blue color. They are often counterfeited.
9. Rosterite - this stone contains many alkali metal salts. It is characterized by a soft pink color.
10. Bazzite is a soft blue mineral. This blue variety of gem resembles aquamarine. However, scandium gives it its color.
11. Pezzottaite is a bright pink gemstone. But it contains cesium, so it can pose a danger to humans.
12. Bixbite is a red mineral that is expensive. Today there is only one deposit of such gems, but it is constantly flooded.

Mineral in jewelry

The physical properties of beryl, combined with its variety of species, make the mineral in demand in the jewelry world. Less valuable specimens are classified as ornamental stones. Some varieties are interesting as collection material. The most beautiful stones end up in the windows of jewelry houses, unceremoniously competing with diamonds.

Types of decorations

The range of products with beryl and the number of designer jewelry designs knows no bounds. The most popular:

• earrings;
• rings, rings, signets;
• pendants, pendants;
• beads;
• brooches;
• bracelets.

Some types of stone cannot be found in jewelry stores - their rarity and cost determine exclusively the individual production of the product.

Color spectrum

Many gems from the beryl family are known to us under other names:

• Emerald is a noble nugget endowed with different shades of green.

• Aquamarine is a popular transparent mineral associated with the color of ice or sea green. In terms of cost, aquamarine is inferior to emerald only because it is more common in nature.

• Heliodor is a light green stone with a golden or orange tint. It can also be completely transparent with a slight yellow tint. The most rare samples are endowed with a honey tint.

• Augustite is a rare deep blue stone. Due to its tendency to fade, it is less valuable.

• Goshenite is a colorless specimen.

• Morganite is one of the rarest varieties. The color is usually pale pink. Instances that approach the burgundy or red palette are the most expensive.

• Bixbite is a mineral called “red emerald”. A very rare stone that originates in a single place on the planet. Bixbite extraction is complicated by periodic flooding of the deposit with groundwater.

• Bazzit is a pale blue beryl that often appears as an aquamarine. It received a special name thanks to its discoverer, who studied the chemical composition, noting a high percentage of scandium impurities.

• Machiche beryl is a relative of augustite that loses its bright blue color much faster. For this reason, stone mining is periodic in nature, as it is considered unprofitable.
• Rosterite is a variety close to goshenite. It can be uncolored or expressed pink.

Interestingly, heliodor was previously converted into aquamarine through processing. At a temperature of 400˚C, the gem loses its golden hue, turning into a heavenly blue mineral. Occasionally there are specimens with the “cat’s eye” effect and asterism (a rayed star pattern on the surface of the stone).

• It is unacceptable to wear jewelry for a long time under the bright sun, as beryl inserts will quickly fade.
• It is undesirable to expose the mineral to acids.
• To clean products, use water, soap and ammonia. Silver jewelry is cleaned with baking soda, followed by rinsing with cool water.

Despite the high degree of hardness and strength of the nugget, it is undesirable to drop the stone, subject it to impacts or other mechanical influences.

How to spot a fake

When talking about beryl counterfeits, we mean imitations of the most expensive and popular varieties - bixbite, emerald, aquamarine, morganite. Each of the stones can be found in two imitation versions - a synthetic mineral or a processed natural one, but of lower quality and a different accessory. Some fakes can be recognized visually, while others require gemological examination.

Jewelry with Beryl

Briefly about fakes:

• Bixbit. Red emerald is considered the rarest of beryls, costing more than green emeralds. The production of synthetic hydrothermal bixbites has been established in Russia. The cost of these stones is an order of magnitude lower. They are easy to cut, unlike natural gems, which cannot be cut due to their small size (often 0.5 carats). The fake also has a higher refractive index.
• Emerald. In the case of emeralds, fakes are much more common, since this is the most popular mineral of the beryl group. Cheaper tsavorite, green garnet and quartz, tourmaline, jade, cubic zirconia, and peridot are passed off as natural gemstones. Natural fakes can be distinguished by the various physical properties of these nuggets. It is difficult to distinguish artificially grown stone. Sometimes the imitation is revealed by the soft outlines of the edges, which in natural emerald are clear and geometric. There are also triplets - glued plates of cheap minerals, topped with a fragment of a real emerald. As in most cases, such imitation can only be recognized with the help of special devices.
• Aquamarine. Fake aquamarines are made from painted glass or ceramic glass. They can be easily distinguished by temperature conditions, uniformity of color and lack of dichroism (changes in shade at different viewing angles). Often aquamarine is heated or irradiated varieties of other beryls, as well as imitations from topaz, spinel, and zircons. Zircon shows bifurcated edges in the light. Topaz shines brighter, sparkles, the refraction of light is deeper than that of aquamarine. A low-grade spinel will be indicated by the accumulation of bubbles inside the insert. The low price of jewelry with aquamarine also indicates falsification.
• Morganite. Fakes use hydrothermal synthetic morganite, glass or ceramic glass, as well as imitations of pink tourmaline, kunzite, garnet or topaz. Hydrothermal stone is distinguished by laboratory tests. Glass or ceramic indicates temperature (natural stones are characterized by coldness). Garnet and topaz are brighter than natural morganite. Quartz is cheaper in cost and is also distinguished by its turbidity.

An appropriate certificate confirming the naturalness of minerals will help protect yourself from any falsification.

The only exceptions are water stones - emerald and aquamarine. They should not be combined with moonstone, alexandrite. Combinations with euclase and opal are also contraindicated.

Place of Birth

In Russia, the best beryls were mined in the Urals. In the Chelyabinsk region near Miass on the Ilmen ridge there were deposits of beryl, emeralds and sparrowstone known since the 18th century. Now they are almost exhausted, finds here are extremely rare. In the Sverdlovsk region, the Murzinka and Shaitanka deposits are also practically depleted. Transparent and yellow varieties of the gem are mined on the Kola Peninsula, and the Adun-Chelon deposit in Transbaikalia is rich in large, well-colored aquamarines.

Abroad, noble beryls are mined in Colombia, Brazil, India and Greenland.

Interesting: The largest green beryl crystal weighing 380 tons was found in Mozambique. Its length was 18 meters. In 1983, a nugget weighing 32 kilograms was found in the Minas Girays deposit in Brazil.

Yellow heliodors are mined in the Zhytomyr region of Ukraine. In Europe, beryls are found in Bavaria, France and Sweden.

The second method requires good vision or the use of a magnifying glass

The fact is that a gem by its nature cannot be ideal. You will definitely find small inclusions and “defects”

Another effective authentication method is ordinary water.

It is enough to drop a drop on the surface of beryl and observe it, moving the stone a little. A natural gem will not allow the liquid to change shape and spread

Advice! It is impossible to check the hardness of beryl using the same method as the hardness of diamond. If you run it over the surface of the glass, the gem may leave unsightly scratches and chips. However, this hardness is enough to leave a mark on rock crystal.

Among the numerous subspecies of beryl, there are solutions that are relevant both for young and dreamy girls, and for laconic business women and bright socialites. A stone endowed with magical qualities will attract good luck, fill you with energy and give spiritual harmony.
