There are six types of beryl gemstones, generally classified by their color. Emerald and Aquamarine are probably the most well-known and the most valuable but all Beryls have special qualities that make them stand out from other gemstones.
Beryls come in just about every color of the rainbow - the only color I cannot think of is a purple version. Deep green beryls are called emeralds and blue beryls are known as aquamarines.
Technically, all other colors are called precious beryl but many have picked up specific names:
On our web pages, beryls are separated into their individual varieties - emerald, aquamarine, morganite and golden beryl. Heliodor is not a term we use for gemstones and Bixbite is incredibly rare.

Beryl gemstones are a mineral species that all share the same chemical make-up - beryllium, aluminum, silicon and oxygen - and an identical crystal structure.
The causes of the different colors which separate the varieties of Beryl can be iron, chromium, manganese or vanadium either individually or in multiple combinations. The purest form will not have any impurities and be the colorless Goshenite.
Beryl gemstones cover the complete range of prices from the very reasonable Golden Beryl to the very expensive Emerald.
Like all other gemstones, it is the color of each beryl that creates the value, whether it is green, blue, yellow or pink, deeply saturated and even colors will be the most prized.
Most Beryl gemstones fall in the range of 1 - 10 carats in weight and get increasingly rare as they get bigger in size. This affects the price dramatically as the price per carat will rise quickly as the gemstones get over 5 carats - especially with the valuable emeralds.
We can show a very rough price guide for a few beryl examples to give you an idea of their value:
Golden Beryl |
1 - 5ct |
$20 - $80/ct |
Golden Beryl |
5ct + |
$25 - $300/ct |
1 - 5ct |
$20 - $500/ct |
|
5ct + |
$70 - $1000/ct |
|
1 - 2ct |
$80 - $1500/ct |
|
2ct + |
$80 - $3500/ct |
Along with color and carat weight there is also cut and clarity to consider as well.
Beryls, like many gemstones, can receive various treatments to enhance their looks but this is not always the case.
We will always disclose any treatments on our product pages.
If we include all types of Beryl, there is barely a continent that does not produce great quantities of this gemstone. Colombia and Zambia produce the most emeralds, the biggest source of Aquamarine and Morganite is Brazil while Sri Lanka and Madagascar provide the Golden Beryl.
Beryl is rated at very durable 7.5 - 8 on Mohs hardness scale which makes it suitable for all jewelry items including daily wear pieces such as engagement rings.
Emeralds do have a lot of inclusions which can make them susceptible to cracking so a protective setting for rings may be a good idea.

It's important to understand what you are buying. Gem stones all vary significantly and you need to adjust your selection based on purpose, cost, expected out come.In my case I was selecting and very attractive heart shaped stone which once set in a pendent would fall in a specific cost range yet present an attractive picture of luxury without extreme risk e.g loss.

I really like your selection, What I am not sure about from you is the quality. I don't have a way to be 100% sure that what I am getting for example is not a simulant. EG sapphires are not man made. Or rubies are not lead glass filled or manmade when they say they are natural. The certificate you offer is not really a valid way to express this. A certified GIA report would be.

I wanted to buy some gems because I think they’d be cool to have and this seemed like the best website to buy them from. The website is a bit old looking and could use an update to the user interface but otherwise it’s great.

I am a first time buyer and the web page was very informative in helping me select a stone.

I’ve made several purchases from Gemselect over the past few years since I began making jewelry. I have been always pleased with the website and quality of stones and shipping. I will keep coming back to shop here.
Overall Rating -> 10
Everything is great. If you could add one thing to your site, I would suggest pendant findings, especially for the larger sized stones.
