ⓘ Beryl
Formula: Be3Al2(Si6O18)
Habit: crystals elongated parallel to c, crystals flattened on the basal pinacoid, and masses of aquamarine up to 6 inches in dimension which are invariably fractured.
Description: Radcliffe and Bailey (1972) state the following about the beryl: "The beryl occurs in three distinct types: crystals elongated parallel to c, crystals flattened on the basal pinacoid, and masses of aquamarine up to 6 inches in dimension which are invariably fractured. This fracturing is of a regional nature and effects all minerals in the pegmatite. The fractures in the aquamarine are filled with small crystals (up to 1 mm) of transparent beryl set in a friable matrix of white beryl. These latter probably represent a second generation of beryl emplaced in the original crystal of aquamarine." "Crystals of beryl weighing several hundreds of pounds are reported to have been collected from the property"
✪ Beryl var. Aquamarine
Habit: crystals elongated parallel to c, crystals flattened on the basal pinacoid, and masses of aquamarine up to 6 inches in dimension which are invariably fractured.
Colour: Aquamarine
ⓘ Beryl var. Goshenite
Formula: Be3Al2(Si6O18)
Colour: white - transparent
Description: The fractures in the aquamarine are filled with small crystals (up to 1 mm)of transparent beryl set in a friable matrix of white beryl. These latter probably represent a second generation of beryl emplaced in the original crystal of aquamarine.
