Beryllonite is a sodium beryllium phosphate mineral that forms as colorless to pale yellow crystals. It commonly occurs in hard, well-formed crystals that can be prismatic or tabular, displaying a vitreous to resinous luster. Specimens are prized when crystals are transparent and crisply developed, sometimes showing a faintly pale tint due to trace impurities.

About Beryllonite

Notable specimens have been collected in several countries, including Brazil, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the United States. Localities in these regions produce small to moderately sized crystals that often occur with associated phosphate minerals, providing interesting paragenetic associations for Lapidary and mineral collectors.

Collectors value beryllonite for its rarity and the clean, geometric habit of its crystals. While not as common as some phosphate species, well-formed crystals from classic localities offer appealing display pieces and add diversity to a cabinet of mineral specimens.
