Gemology
Gemstone Information
 * Goshenite belongs to the beryl group of minerals, which are beryllium aluminum silicates. Beryl can occur in a wide range of colors, including green, blue, pink, golden, red and white or colorless as with goshenite. Technically, goshenite is the purest form of beryl, since it lacks coloring agents and impurities that are responsible for giving gemstones their color. The beryl family is most famous for emerald and aquamarine, as well as morganite, heliodor, golden beryl and bixbite.
 * Goshenite was first discovered in the small town of Goshen, located in Hampshire County of Western Massachusetts. Today, goshenite and other deposits of beryl, can be found all around the world. Before the introduction of synthetic diamonds, goshenite was often used as a diamond alternative. By the placement of silver or green foil under the stone, goshenite can even be used as alternatives for emeralds and other precious colored stones. The colored foil enhances goshenite's color similar to the way 'coating' can enhance mystic quartz or topaz.
 * Goshenite was once used for the manufacturing of eyeglasses, because of its excellent transparency. Goshenite is also considered an excellent source for beryllium. Goshenite, like all beryl, has excellent hardness, durability and toughness. It is very resistant to corrosive materials, but goshenite is considered to be quite brittle and sensitive to pressure.
