Also known as “precious”,  beryl also comes in pink (Morganite), golden yellow to yellow (Heliodor), yellow green and colourless (Goshenite).  As with all beryl, it is hard but brittle, but because of it’s hardness, if cut well they can be incredibly beautiful stones.

 

They are not terribly common commercially. In the jewellery industry you will often find that consumers are not familiar with these stones and their value, and will not buy them. It would take a much more “educated” jewellery buyer or someone with a keen interest in gemstones to know about Heliodors and Morganite, and the their value.
