Beryl

The mineral Beryl is a beryllium aluminium cyclosilicate. Pure Beryl is colourless, but it is frequently tinted by impurities, giving named varieties like Aquamarine, Bixbite, Emerald, Goshenite, Heliodor and Morganite. Beryl is a general name for the unnamed varieties such as Golden Beryl, Red Beryl, Peach Beryl and Green Beryl.

Small traces of iron and uranium, are sufficient to give a colourless Beryl an intense yellow tone, the typical colour of the Golden Beryl.
