3.5" Polished Beryl Section - Western Australia
This is a 3.5" section of beryl that has been cut and polished to a glossy finish on one side. The beryl comes from Spargoville near Kambalda in Western Australia. This massive beryl specimen bears light-green to blue-green coloration. It sits up nicely without the need for a display stand.
Beryl is a mineral composed of beryllium aluminum cyclosilicate, with the chemical formula Be3Al2(SiO3)6. Naturally occurring beryl tends to form hexagonal crystals that can reach several meters in size if given the right conditions. Completely pure beryl will be transparent and colorless, while mineral impurities frequently tint the crystals color in most specimens.
Well known varieties of beryl include aquamarine and emerald, although beryl can also be green, blue, yellow, white and red, depending on the incorporated impurities during formation. Red beryl is its rarest form, and can currently only be found in New Mexico and Utah.
