Loose Beryl Gemstones for Sale - In Stock and ready to Ship

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.

Beryl Colors

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:

Goshenite - A colorless variety
Golden Beryl - A deep golden yellow variety
Heliodor - A light yellow variety
Morganite - A pink variety
Red Beryl/Bixbite - A red variety

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 Species

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 Price

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.

Carat Weight

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
Aquamarine	1 - 5ct	$20 - $500/ct
Aquamarine	5ct +	$70 - $1000/ct
Emerald	1 - 2ct	$80 - $1500/ct
Emerald	2ct +	$80 - $3500/ct

Along with color and carat weight there is also cut and clarity to consider as well.

Treatments

Beryls, like many gemstones, can receive various treatments to enhance their looks but this is not always the case.

Golden Beryls are often untreated and totally natural other than the cutting and polishing that turns them into lovely gemstones.
Emeralds are not often heated or irradiated but do get oiled to fill in minute cracks and fissures.
Some of the deep blue colored Aquamarines are the result of heat treatment

We will always disclose any treatments on our product pages.

Where is Beryl found?

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.

What jewelry is Beryl suitable for?

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.

I was looking for a source for affordable genuine gemstones for my grandson who is currently very interested in rocks and gems. I was quite surprised and pleased to find GemSelect and finding the right stones at the right price couldn't have been simpler.

I was looking for ammolite for my husband. Other websites are not always clear about whether they have genuine ammolite or simulated ammolite. I have purchased from GemSelect before and trust that the stones are genuine. Finding the stones I want is easy, and I love all of the search filter options!

So many gorgeous stones! The only "complaint" I have is it's difficult to visualize sizes in mm. Perhaps some way to compare in inches?It has been a long time since I bought stones from Gem select, but the process wasn't too difficult.

I really enjoy browsing through GemSelect. The selection is always marvelous and I love how detailed everything is described. The only thing I noticed is that when browsing through my phone, the videos of the gems do not load. If there were more videos of the gems, that would be amazing, though I understand that is a lot of work on GemSelect's part! Checking out is also very fast and easy, and I love that the return policy is very good, though I hope I don't have to use it anytime soon.

I am of the opinion that the company gem select cares about the product beautiful gems it sells and the cost of the gem I purchased was small i was treated as if it cost a lot of money and product was described in detail and i felt good about the little stones i had ordered.
