Semi Precious Stone Beryl
Beryl is often unknown to the general people, even the gemstone-buying
public. However, it is one of the most precious
gem stones minerals. Beryl is colorless in its pure
form; it is the many different impurities, which give beryl
its varied coloration. Without these splendid color varieties,
beryl may be a rather ordinary gemstone with
only average fire and brilliance. Emerald is
the green variety and also Aquamarine is the blue variety of beryl.
Other colors of beryl are also normally used as gemstones but
are not as well known.
