Beryl is a relatively rare silicate mineral with a chemical composition of Be3Al2Si6O18. It is found in igneous and metamorphic rocks in many parts of the world. Before 1969, beryl served as the only important ore of beryllium metal.
The major economic interest in beryl today is its use as a gemstone. It is one of the most important gem minerals, and the gems are named by their color as emerald (green), aquamarine (greenish blue to blue), morganite (pink to orange), red beryl (red), heliodor (yellow to greenish yellow), maxixe (deep blue), goshenite (colorless), and green beryl (light green). Emerald and aquamarine are the most popular. The best beryl comes from Colombia and Brazil.
The name emerald comes from the Greek 'smaragdos' via the Old French 'esmeralde', and really just means 'green gemstone'. Innumerable fantastic stories have grown up around this magnificent gem. The Incas and Aztecs of South America, where the best emeralds are still found today, regarded the emerald as a holy gemstone. However, probably the oldest known finds were once made near the Red Sea in Egypt. Having said that, these gemstone mines, already exploited by Egyptian pharaohs between 3000 and 1500 B.C. and later referred to as 'Cleopatra's Mines', had already been exhausted by the time they were rediscovered in the early 19th century.
Aquamarine, named for the Latin phrase "water of the sea", is the blue to blue-green variety Beryl. Aquamarine ranges in color from a faint light blue to blue and bluish-green, with lighter colored stones being the more common type.
