What does a stone look like
Mineral in its pure form has no value for jewelry. The exact name given to it is beryllium silicate. Found its application in many technical industries. Jewelers also love to work with him.
According to the description, it is a fragile mineral with a prismatic hexagon shape. Endowed with excellent resistance to aggressive compounds, acids and salts. In its pure form, it can be of enormous size and weight. Sometimes finds reach several tons.
Precious varieties are much smaller in size. The mineral has many shades and is easy to grind. For this reason, the jewelry industry is able to effortlessly transform any type into a gem.
The pure mineral contains: silicon oxide in a proportion of 67%, aluminum oxide - 19%, beryllium oxide - 14%. It may contain other elements and when mixed, the natural transparent color changes to another.

- Heliodor. High quality is expensive (minimum $ 20 per 1 carat). There are much fewer sources of the deposit than its “brothers”. Natural color is yellowish green.
- Morganite. A rare, expensive type of gem. Natural color is pink, the more intense it is, the higher its value. An insert of morganite without a defect in the decoration can cost several hundred conventional units. Americans and Europeans are very fond of bright (raspberry, strawberry, cherry) shades of morganite.
Rare varieties that few people know, but look very beautiful in jewelry:
- Goshenite. The color is faded, costing less than multi-colored specimens. In jewelry it looks strict, but very solemn.
- Augustine. A valuable specimen in blue. The cost price of 1 carat reaches $ 150. It is very often faked by scammers. Afraid of ultraviolet radiation - under direct sun, it may fade after time.
- Bazzite. It is not endowed with special value, it is often used in jewelry as an ordinary insert. Natural color is blue.
- Biscuit. A very rare specimen with a cost of $ 300 per carat. There is only one source in the whole world, and that one is regularly flooded with groundwater.
