Description
Beryl in its many color varieties is a favorite among mineral collectors and gemologists. This book provides an in-depth look at the formation and unique conditions that create fine aquamarines and emeralds. The guide begins with an explanation of the chemistry and taxonomy of the beryl group, followed by a section on their formation and geochemistry. Detailed entries for each mineral provide locality information and full-color photos to help collectors identify good specimens and associate them with other minerals found in similar environments. An extensive bibliography is also included for further study. Over 100 photographs showcase each species in its geological context, making this book an invaluable resource for those interested in the beryl group.
