Beryl is a stone from the silicate family. Scientists do not have a single point of view as to who first discovered the mineral, but this gem was known already in ancient times almost throughout the world. There are a huge number of types of this crystal; you’ve probably heard their names, but you didn’t even realize that we were talking about beryl. Depending on the specific subtype, it can be a precious, semi-precious, or ordinary crystal.
What stones are we talking about? Well, welcome to the exciting world of crystals. In this article we will talk about the types and properties of beryl stone: physical, chemical and magical.
Historical reference
Beryl and emerald were already known in the times of Pliny and Theophrastus. Most varieties of beryl have been used in jewelry since ancient times, although due to their different colors they were considered different stones; no distinction was often made between them and similar minerals.
Thus, in ancient times only yellow varieties were called beryl; green ones were often considered peridot, and colorless ones were not distinguished from quartz.
Ancient Egypt primarily used yellow beryl, but it is unknown where exactly the Egyptians mined it. Perhaps the mines were located on the territory of present-day Somalia or Ethiopia, but now nothing is known about mineral deposits in North Africa.
Beryl (it is not known what variety) was one of the stones with which the breastplate of the Jewish high priest was decorated.
Currently, jewelers call beryl only yellow or golden transparent crystals of a certain chemical composition. There is also base beryl; it is a raw material for the production of beryllium metal, the price of which is high.
History of the mineral
In the Middle East, beryl has been known for six thousand years. The tombs of kings and temples were decorated with stone from the inside. Ancient Egypt primarily used yellow beryl, but it is unknown where exactly the Egyptians mined it. Perhaps the mines were located on the territory of present-day Somalia or Ethiopia, but now nothing is known about mineral deposits in North Africa.
They knew about the precious stone beryl in ancient India. One way or another, its name is known in Sanskrit. Together with Indian traders, both the mineral and the word “beryllos” came to Europe. In the ancient world, this was the name given to any transparent gemstone of a green or blue hue. The ancient Greeks and Romans, of course, could not understand the subtleties of the chemical structure, and therefore were unable to distinguish silicate from quartz.
Modern jewelers generally believe that beryl is a golden-colored gemstone from the silicate family. And other varieties of crystal have their own names. For example, green beryl is called emerald. This classification arose already in modern times.
Place of Birth
Beryl
The largest deposits of beryl are located in the Urals (Russia), South America (Colombia, Brazil), Madagascar, etc.
- Common beryls are found in Bodenmais (Bavaria), Limoges (France), on the island of Elba, in Sweden (Fynbo, Brodbo), in Cornwallis, etc.
- In Russia, deposits of noble beryl are Murzinka and Shaitanka in the Sverdlovsk region. Unfortunately, these mines are almost completely exhausted.
- The famous Emerald mines of the Urals near the village of Izumrud in the Urals provide excellent cutting raw materials for emerald.
- Beautiful large aquamarine crystals are mined in Transbaikalia (Adun-Chelon).
- Large deposits of beryl are confined to the pegmatites of the eastern part of the Kola Peninsula (Strelninskoye, Voronetundrovskoye, etc.), in which cut colorless and yellow transparent beryls are sometimes found.
- The best deposits of noble beryl abroad are considered to be the Coimbatore district in the East Indies, Minas Girays (Brazil) and Colombia.
- Rare finds of beryl crystals are known in the Alto Ligonya region of Mozambique.
- Beautiful heliodor crystals from Ukrainian pegmatites of the Zhytomyr region are widely known.
To search for beryllium deposits, a geophysical method is used - beryllometry.
Mineral deposits
The mineral beryl has been mined in India for centuries. Argentina and Canada also boast large deposits of the gem. Very beautiful and pure emeralds are mined in Colombia, polychrome stones are mined in the USA, and aquamarines are mined in Brazil and Madagascar. During the Soviet era, beryl deposits were also developed in Russia, but now production volumes have fallen. However, the mines of Siberia, the Urals and Transbaikalia are still functioning.
A popular place for beryl mining is the city of Coimbatore in India.
Varieties of the mineral that jewelers are not interested in are mined all over the world. Despite their inconspicuous appearance, from a chemical point of view they are no different from their precious counterparts; the composition of the crystal lattice is the same. However, a nondescript appearance does not mean that the minerals are not in dispute. Beryllium, a metal necessary for nuclear energy, is smelted from such stones.
Beryllium is a very dangerous substance. In the mines where it is mined, people work in simply hellish conditions. They suffer from skin inflammation, pneumonia, and cancer. The process of metal smelting greatly harms the environment. Some of its compounds are generally prohibited for development, storage and transportation.
Physical and chemical properties
Without exception, all minerals of the beryllium group are a complex compound of beryllium oxide, aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide with a percentage predominance of the latter. Impurities may contain iron, manganese, and in small quantities uranium and other metals, which act as chromatophores that provide the color of the stone.
This is a hard gem - 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale. It is on the same level as topaz, second only to diamond - 10 units, and corundum - 9. The luster is glassy. Noble beryl is characterized by transparency, while industrial beryl is opaque and has a white or grayish color.
Resistant to caustic acids and alkalis. Melts at very high temperatures.

Extraction method
Primary stone deposits are hidden by granite pegmatites, quartz veins, and hydrothermal springs.
Along the way, feldspars and other gems (topazes, rock crystal, rauchtopaz) are mined with them.
Rauchtopaz smoky
Deposits of beryllium and other gems of this group are sought using beryllometry.
We recommend: INDIGOLITE - sky blue, sea blue
This is a method developed by scientists in the USSR in the mid-twentieth century. Based on the reaction of beryllium isotopes.
Colors and varieties of beryl
Pure beryl is colorless. Glass shine. The variety of colors of crystals is determined by the composition of impurities: various shades of blue, bluish-green, yellow colors are associated with an admixture of Fe, red or pink - with an admixture of Mn, bright green is due to an admixture of Cr.
Depending on the color there are:
- Augustite, or maxis beryl, is dark blue.
Augustite
- Aquamarine - blue, greenish blue.
Aquamarine
- Bazzit is pale blue.
Bazzit
- Noble beryl - apple green; noble ordinary - transparent, but with a pale color (the term is used mainly in jewelry).
Noble beryl
- Bixbit is red (also called “red emerald”).
Bixbit
- Vorobievite (synonyms: morganite, bixbite) - usually pink, sometimes violet-pink, reddish, amber.
Vorobievit
- Heliodor (synonym: Davidsonite) - yellow, golden yellow, orange-yellow.
Heliodor
- Goshenite is colorless.
Goshenite
- Emerald is a rich and vibrant deep green, grass green to salad green (the paler the color, the less valued).
Emerald
- Pezzottaite (pedzottaite, or cesium beryl) is deep pink.
Pezzottaite
- Rosterite is colorless or pale pink.
Rosterite
Ordinary beryl is opaque, white or gray in color, is quite widespread, and, when found in large concentrations, is mined as ore to obtain beryllium.
Transparent varieties of beryl are used as jewelry (precious) stones.
Emerald (English Smaragd, Emeraude) is valued as a jewelry stone of the highest class (order), along with diamond, ruby and cornflower blue sapphire.
Aquamarine and all varieties of noble beryl are also highly valued as jewelry stones.
Types of mineral
Transparent, clean stones of different colors have their own names.
They are distributed according to color groups:
Green beryls:
- Noble beryl . Rich shade of apple green.
- Emerald . The only representative of the group in the elite jewelry four. The value of the stone is determined by the density of greenery.
Blue-blue:
- Aquamarine. The color is moderately uniform, there are rich blue unique ones with a golden core.
- Augustite . Expensive ($150 per carat) dark blue mineral. It becomes pale in the sun or over time. Stones from the Brazilian deposit of the same name are called maxis-beryls.
- Mashishe . Inexpensive deep blue stone from Brazil. Named after the deposit closest to the city. It fades quickly, which is why it is in demand only by collectors of mineralogical collections.
- Bazzit . Subtle blue beryl, saturated with scandium. Named after the discoverer.
Yellow:
- Heliodor. Rare variety. Transparent orange-yellow, yellow beryl with golden tint. The rarest and most valuable are honey-colored crystals. The second name is Davidsonite.
Red, pink:
- Morganite. Rare expensive gem. The price is increased by increased pinkness in the shade of the stone. In the East they love crystals the color of dawn (pale pink). Europeans and Americans prefer specimens that imitate the colors of fruits and berries (raspberries, strawberries, currants, cranberries). In Russia it is called Vorobievite.
- Bixbite . The rarest red beryl, mined in the only place on the planet. Known as the "red emerald".
- Rosterite . A stone with a color ranging from achroism (colorlessness) to the color of a tea rose. Gamma is created by a high alkali content.
White:
- Goshenite . Colorless transparent stone. Looks almost like a diamond, but not as brilliant. For this, fans appreciate solid restraint. The cheapest variety of beryl.
A special case is pezzotaite. The first crystals of the color of ripe raspberries were found by Federico Pezzota in Madagascar in 2002.
This is an aluminosilicate, but the trihedral crystals do not correspond to the hexagonal canon. Therefore, since 2009 it has been considered an independent mineral, and not beryl.
The second name is cesium beryl (cesium - up to 15%). It creates color.
The deposit gave people only 10 kg of stone, after which it was depleted. This stimulated the creation of artificial crystals, which was carried out by Russian and Japanese scientists.
How to recognize a fake
Opaque beryl stone
Attempts to create an artificial beryl stone have so far been unsuccessful. Of course, sometimes scammers try to pass off an ordinary piece of glass or a piece of plastic as a real gem, but it is very easy to expose them. Just try to scratch the crystal with a blade or needle. You cannot damage a real gem.
For high-quality counterfeiting of a mineral, it is necessary to completely recreate its chemical composition, unique to each deposit. As a result, making a bracelet from such a perfect counterfeit will be as expensive as from a real stone, and the meaning of the fake will be lost.
Sometimes it happens that one variety of beryl is passed off as another, which costs more.
To distinguish an emerald from a cheaper but similar stone, you will need some kind of heavy liquid, such as bromoform. A real jewel will sink in such a liquid, while a cheap one will float. You can also place the gem under an ultraviolet lamp. Semi-precious emerald analogues will have a bright reflection, while a genuine crystal will have a duller light.
Usually they try to fake either an emerald or an aquamarine. Now such work is carried out out of pure scientific enthusiasm; there is no commercial sense in it. There are methods in which cheap stone is given the desired shade using heating, but so far they are just being developed.
Carefully!
It happens that emerald is glued together in several layers, and a thin plate of expensive stone is only the outer layer. In this case, you need to carefully look at how the beryl looks in the photograph in a jewelry laboratory; you are unlikely to be able to distinguish a fake on your own.
Varieties and colors
The mineral has a huge number of color options. Basically, the color of beryl is determined by impurities that enter the crystal lattice when the gem is formed. There is no special “beryl color”. There are many varieties and shades of stone, you can choose a decoration that suits you personally.
The most famous varieties of beryl:
- Emerald is perhaps the most expensive and beautiful among its family. The largest and most transparent emeralds are more expensive than diamonds. Chrome and vanadium give it a deep green tint.
- Green beryl is the name given to a simpler version of emerald. The mineral is less transparent and costs less, but jewelers still love it. They often try to pass off such a crystal as a real emerald.
- Aquamarine, also known as blue beryl, also has a fairly high price tag. It can have either a shade of sea wave or a more saturated azure color. A rather rare and expensive stone, its unique color is given by iron and chrome.
- Sparrowite (morganite) is a pink beryl that is mined mainly in the mines of the island of Madagascar. Magnesium gives it its delicate color. This one is also loved for its unique soft glow.
- Heliodor (Davidsonite) is a yellow beryl whose name is translated from Greek as “gift of the sun.” It has a huge number of color options, from rich honey to delicate amber. The way golden beryl sparkles magnificently in the sun has always fascinated people.
- Goshenite is a white gemstone, the best examples of which are almost completely transparent. It is also called beige beryl. A skilled jeweler can craft such a stone so skillfully that it will be almost impossible to distinguish it from a diamond.
- Augustite is a rare type of gem, very expensive. The rich dark blue crystal is quite often counterfeited.
- Machishe is another noble beryl with a rich blue tint. Some classify it as augustite, because they are very similar. Mashishe loses color very quickly if it gets hot or exposed to sunlight. Properly processing a crystal so that it retains its color and depth longer is a whole art.
- Rosterite is a stone containing a lot of alkali metal salts. The best examples of roasterite boast a delicate light pink hue.
- Pezzottaite is a rich pink gem, but very dangerous. Its molecule contains cesium, so this type of beryl is feared to be processed and worn.
- Bazzite is a light blue mineral similar to aquamarine. True, it is not iron that gives it the sea-green hue, but scandium.
- Bixbite is a red beryl, very expensive and rare. It is compared to emerald in price and beauty. Nowadays, only one deposit of bixbite is known, and it is constantly flooded with groundwater. Because of this, mining can be interrupted at any moment, and the cost of the gem will skyrocket.
The magical properties of beryl
Yellow beryl pendant (heliodor)
Noble beryl is endowed with a number of magical qualities that directly affect people's lives. The nugget acts as:
- "Sorter" of energy. Beryl tends to attract positive energy to its owner. In this case, the stone plays the role of a barrier, repelling all negativity from a person.
- Family amulet. All the rough edges of family relationships are smoothed out if there is a beryl item in the house.
- Talisman of good luck in legal disputes. The greenish-golden nugget is an excellent assistant to lawyers of any kind whose work involves defending someone’s rights in court.
Amulets made from the mineral are important for people whose area of activity is exclusively mental. The stone is endowed with properties that can influence the clarity of human consciousness, relieve chronic fatigue, and sharpen the mind. Thanks to this, the owner of the gem will be able to complete the work begun, avoiding mistakes. The talisman will maintain a working spirit, preventing the owner from mentally “burning out.”
Talismans, amulets, amulets
Ring “Frog Princess” - beryl-emerald, silver
Belief in supernatural phenomena prompted people to create protection for themselves and their loved ones in the form of animals imprinted in stone or other materials.
There was a whole business based on the manufacture and sale of amulets and talismans. There is some truth in this, since people have always been born who were close to nature and felt its processes.
They could predict the future, advise what to do, what could help in a difficult situation.
For example, if a person wanted to make peace with his enemy, then he was recommended to give the enemy a frog made of beryl stone.
Since minerals and labor were expensive and the person was glad to receive an unexpected gift, reconciliation was usually easy.
The meaning is rather not in the philosophy of the stone, but in the very action of people in relation to each other. But the goal was achieved, therefore, it was necessary to continue listening to the predictor.
It was believed that an emerald in a gold frame was a symbol of intelligence and wealth. The only question is – what comes first?
A person needed to think about where to get or for what to buy such an expensive thing. I had to think hard about financial well-being. Eventually, the idea came to the thinker, and he became rich.
Most likely, the person attributed the appearance of wealth to the emerald. In fact, he created his own success, and the mineral was just the initial goal.
Talismans were purchased by people to be confident in the future. The stones were a symbol of hope and allowed one not to lose courage in difficult situations.
Healing properties
Men's ring with beryl
Please note: hereinafter we will refer to ordinary noble beryl - golden-greenish, a fairly common subspecies of the mineral. The fact is that the healing and magical properties of different beryls differ, and each type should be considered from the point of view of lithotherapy, magic and astrology as an independent mineral.
This gem has the following meaning for a person: it affects the heart chakra and the solar plexus chakra. This means affecting primarily the organs located in the chest and upper abdomen. Among them:
- lungs;
- heart;
- organs of the digestive system - esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, spleen.
The greenish-yellow stone will relieve you of colds, inflammation of the bronchi and lungs, help calm the heart during arrhythmia, and normalize blood pressure. He will make sure that the gastrointestinal tract organs are in order, will put metabolic processes (metabolism) in order, and will alleviate pain in the thoracic spine.
There is evidence that beryl is useful for women with various gynecological pathologies. The energy of the stone is receptive yin, just feminine.
Medicinal properties
Beryl is a stone whose properties have been studied since ancient times. Already the Babylonians believed that the gem could cure many diseases. Most often it was recommended for liver diseases or female problems. In the Middle Ages it was believed that it helps get rid of toothache. Modern lithotherapists fully agree with their colleagues from the past.
Healing beryl will help:
- Cure pain in the head or teeth. Just apply the gem to the sore spot and hold for a few minutes.
- Get rid of otitis media. For this you will need beryl earrings.
- Ease suffering during critical days. On the first day of menstruation, wear a bracelet with the treasured gem and calmly go about your business.
- Reduce the activity of inflammation in bronchitis, pneumonia, pleurisy. For this purpose, you can wear a pendant or necklace with the desired stone.
In this case, the color and variety of the gem do not play a role; their energy is always the same. There are also special procedures using beryls, which improve well-being and help reduce infectious diseases. Some lithotherapists recommend the mineral to people who want to lose weight.
Areas of application
Silver Jewelry with Natural Beryl
Beautifully colored beryl and varieties of beryl are popular gemstones used as gemstones in jewelry. Good specimens of beryl are highly valued and adorn collections and museum collections.
The frame is made from the metal that best suits the specific type of stone; usually, the more expensive the gem, the more noble the metal chosen.
Various small crafts, signets, and carved jewelry are also made from beryl, and opaque stones (“ordinary beryl”) are an ore mineral and serve as a source for producing beryllium oxide. It is a hard but brittle silvery-white metal that resembles aluminum. The substance is used:
- For alloying alloys. Have you heard about beads, bracelets and rings made of “gypsy gold”? This is beryllium treated bronze.
- For the manufacture of X-ray tubes.
- In nuclear reactors as a neutron reflector.
- In laser technology.
- As a material for spaceships and aircraft.
- To obtain rocket fuel.
- For thermal insulation of laboratory furnaces.
- For sound amplifiers.
Products made from beryl are an important attribute of a truly luxurious interior. They even carve beautiful figurines from large stones.
Where is it used?
Where the stones are used is determined by the functional and aesthetic conditions of the raw materials.
Technology, industry
Opaque white, grayish material (ordinary beryl or beryllium) is considered substandard for jewelry and decorative purposes.
We recommend: FIRE OPAL - incredible colors of sunstone
Beryllium is an ore, the source of beryllium oxide. Without this component, production in the most advanced industries is unthinkable:
- For nuclear technology, for example, nuclear icebreakers, this is a moderator and neutron reflector.
- Fuel from nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities (mixed with uranium compounds).
- Due to its super thermal conductivity, it is used as an insulator and fireproof.
Ore is supplied for processing in tons.
Jewelry
Premium quality raw materials are selected for the jewelry industry. These are high transparency, color saturation, absence of noticeable defects, and dimensions.
Beryl jewelry
The gem is a favorite of jewelers. Its color palette creates endless possibilities for creativity:
- Depending on the color and value of the stone, a frame of white, yellow, pink, black gold, silver, or platinum is selected.
- Beryl jewelry can be found to suit any budget.
- There are options for different ages and genders.
Beryls look good in jewelry with citrine, topaz, and diamond.
Collecting
Stones of predominantly non-jewelry grades replenish mineralogical collections.
Particularly outstanding specimens are bought by state assemblies, corporations and wealthy individuals.
Decor
Small plastic pieces are made from beryl fragments; the crumbs are used for carved panels.
Jewelry with beryl
Ring with Beryl
There are many varieties of beryl, therefore the pricing policy for jewelry with the stone is varied. Products with noble beryl are more expensive. Such a stone is framed with gold of the highest standard or platinum. Semi-precious gems are used in products made of 585 gold or silver.
Starting prices for jewelry with beryl:
- Silver ring – from $400.
- Pendant, silver – from $300.
- Earrings with a scattering of stones (different types of beryl or a combination of one type with other minerals) made of silver cost from $400.
- Beads – from $400.
Beryl is usually cut into step or brilliant cuts. The more facets, the richer the shade, the more noticeable the play of light. And the variety of varieties makes it possible to purchase jewelry for every taste and financial opportunity.
Beryl Magic
The magic of beryl was known to the Babylonian magicians and priests of Ancient Egypt.
Modern esotericists have supplemented this knowledge by establishing that the magical properties of the stone are determined by color:
- Pink beryls are suitable for mystical people; people seeking to comprehend the truth and reveal personal potential
- Blue stones add determination and courage. These are amulets against deception.
- Reds, especially in gold, attract passionate love. The crown of celibacy is nullified.
- Blue beryls are important for a person who wants to find peace of mind.
- Yellow, golden stones impart positivity, relieve depression, melancholy, and bad dreams.
- Green and golden stones in silver are suitable for attracting money. This ring is an attribute of managers and careerists.
We recommend: WATERMELON TOURMALINE - the delicious beauty of a gem
Products made from beryl in the solar range are shown during relaxation. Constantly wearing it can make a person eccentric and frivolous.
The colorless stone will be useful for those who like to think and comprehend new things. At the everyday level, it is an amulet against adultery, a talisman of mutual understanding between different generations of the family.
Cleanses the house from introduced negativity.
Silver jewelry with green beryl helps solve financial problems, win a lawsuit, and save material values.
However, beryl magic is an ally only in honest deeds and the fight for justice.
Mineral Compatibility
Beryl combines harmoniously with opal, turquoise, rock crystal, moonstone, jasper and ruby.
Combination with sardonyx and malachite is not recommended. The only metal that enhances the properties of stones is cupronickel.
How to wear beryl jewelry
Aquamarine Earrings
Before wearing a mineral, you need to buy it at the right time. Of course, this only applies to those stones whose purpose is a healing or magical talisman. Thus, it is recommended to buy beryl not on lunar days, but according to the calendar of the Archbishop of the Rhine, according to which the best time to purchase the mineral is October and November. It is believed that the middle and end of autumn marks the annual “break”, during which the stone is saturated with the most power.
Beryl is a multifaceted mineral, so wearing rules are based on the type of appearance:
- For brunettes with light skin, all stones of bright colors of green, blue and yellow are suitable.
- Blondes should pay attention to aquamarine and bazzite.
- Green-eyed and brown-eyed beauties with red hair choose emeralds or goshenites.
- And girls with light eyes, light brown or brown hair will be complemented by all yellow gems, including heliodor.
In addition to the external typology, each of the beryls is intended for a specific image and style:
- Precious stones are an attribute of an elegant look at an elite event. Bixbits, emeralds or morganites will complement the evening outfit of a socialite.
- Golden heliodor goes with any style of clothing, but experts recommend wearing it with a casual wardrobe. Such a stone sets the owner apart from others.
- Extraordinary individuals with an extraordinary style can afford jewelry with augustite.
- For a meeting with friends or a loved one, as well as for office work, it would be appropriate to wear items with semi-precious beryl - bazzite or aquamarine.
Little or already young ladies will be harmoniously complemented by delicate jewelry with transparent goshenite. This option is affordable for anyone.
Caring for beryl products
There are no special recommendations for caring for the stone. The mineral can withstand any household chemicals well, so you can wash it with almost anything. A ten percent ammonia solution is best.
Remove jewelry with stones when engaging in sports or physical activity.
Beryl jewelry is best stored wrapped in soft cloth. The stone is quite fragile and can be accidentally broken or scratched.
However, there are nuances in caring for emeralds. Unlike most types of beryl, they are quite soft, so they can become deformed with prolonged contact with other stones. Keep emeralds alone or only with other emeralds.
How to care for stone
Pendant with aquamarine
As a durable gemstone, beryl does not require any special care. Beryl accessories will last a long time if you follow simple rules.
Stones:
- It is forbidden to drop or subject to shock;
- hold or wear for a long time in bright light - they will fade and become faded;
- should not come into contact with an acidic environment;
- should be cleaned in soapy water with added ammonia.
If the stone setting is made of silver, clean it with baking soda and then rinse the jewelry in cool water. The silver frame is cleaned with a special product so that it does not get on the stone.
Beryl is a whole family of precious stones and gems of similar composition and occurrence. Each of the selected miners is endowed with unique qualities. The main thing is to accurately choose “your” beryl; it will become a wonderful decoration for your collection.
Who suits the name
Any name has its own meaning, origin, its own patron in the form of flowers, animals, stars or minerals. Beryl is favorable to people whose names are:
- Natalia. For her, the stone is the best assistant in matters of the heart. Thanks to the amulet, her feelings will be constant and her spiritual mood will be elevated.
- Igor. A man with this name will be a friendly, cheerful and sensual person with a philosophical outlook on life.
- Alexei. Thanks to beryl, he will become more sensual, discover his creative inclinations, and life will be full of happiness and joy.
- Nellie. The life of such a woman will be protected from negativity, and mutual understanding will reign among all family members at home.
- Artem. Beryl will open the way to the fulfillment of desires through enlightenment of the mind and spiritual improvement. An amulet made of a mineral will protect Artyom on a long journey.
- Konstantin. The nugget will become a wonderful family amulet that supports the feelings of the spouses.
- Stella. A girl with an unusual name will discover new facets of sensuality, love, friendship, and will find a state of complete happiness together with the talisman.
- Valentin. The gem will help make this man’s life better, leading to the fulfillment of desires, as well as protecting him from negativity.
- Elvira. Beryl will help her in everything that concerns feelings - it will strengthen family ties and relationships with other people, enhance friendliness, make feelings permanent, protecting the owner from everything bad.
- Benjamin. The amulet will help him attract finance and prosperity into his home, clearing the surrounding space of negativity.
The names patronized by the gem are unusual and rare. But this stone will become a talisman for someone who really needs it, regardless of the name.
Who is suitable for beryl from the zodiac signs?
Heliodor set Beryl
is most suitable for Gemini, Libra and Scorpio. The mineral beryl has a positive effect on these signs, as it complements the personal qualities of people born under these zodiac signs with its own qualities.
- The inconstancy of Libra can be controlled by always having with you a talisman with constant characteristics.
- It will help Gemini to learn how to finish things they start, since the final formation of the stone has been completed and it has reached perfection. The mineral conveys the same wishes to its owners.
- The strength of Scorpio's emotions sometimes creates additional problems for them in communication. The mineral beryl has a calmness that weakens the negative emotions of this sign.
- Sagittarius is a hot-tempered sign, prone to frequent outbursts of nervousness. The cool tones of aquamarine will help cope with the character traits of Sagittarius.
- For women born under the sign of Leo, beryl will bring health, femininity and wisdom.
- Aries are capable of destroying their destiny with character traits - selfishness and ambition. Beryl teaches its owner to give more positive energy, to please his loved ones with attention and love, just as the mineral itself pleases the eye of the owner of the stone.
- People born under the constellation Cancer, possessing beryl, become more cheerful and positive (possibly from awareness of the value of the mineral, which also has a positive effect on their mood).
- Aquarius will be close to the stone due to its sea green color. Aquamarine is most suitable.
- For Pisces, the mineral will provide a service in the form of prudence and sober thinking. The blue colors of aquamarine will “cool down” the passion of Pisces. Types of beryl with water inclusions are recommended.
- For Taurus, an expensive variety of beryl is more suitable - emerald, which is considered a stone of wisdom. Such a talisman will suggest a more rational path to your dream. True, such a path will be very expensive, considering the cost of the talisman.
- Virgos can count on good luck by carrying an emerald. The energy of the stone reflects the internal qualities of the owner and enhances it with its vibrations.
- Aquamarine or emerald can help Capricorns born on a certain date of the month.
From all of the above, it is clear that most zodiac signs accept beryl as their assistant.
