Beryl specimens for sale

Beryl is a mineral species that forms hexagonal crystals and can appear in a range of color varieties, with a vitreous to subadamantine lustre. The common composition places beryl in the silicate family, and it typically occurs as well-formed prismatic crystals or crys­tals with a columnar or tabular habit, sometimes pale to deeply colored depending on trace elements such as chromium, iron, or vanadium. Pale green emeralds and blue‑green aquamarines are among the most famous varieties, while aquamarine and heliodor are also well known; color and clarity are highly prized by collectors when crystals are well terminated. Notable specimens have come from historic pegmatite deposits where beryl forms in granitic bodies, with classic collecting sites in Pakistan, the United States, Brazil, Namibia, and Afghanistan contributing to its diverse morphology and color range.
