    Outstanding rockhounding adventure at the Beryl Pit 💯👌💯
    - I made a discovery of greenish Beryl on the side of a mountain. And a discovery of a bluish Beryl on the other side. What is the reason for the color difference?
    Thank you for sharing Greig 💯👍💯

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  9 дней назад +1

      Impurities in the beryl create different colours. For example, green is from either impurities of iron or chromium

    The ?peristerite? I think l you called it looks pretty. Will it tumble? Or is it too fractured? I bet if it can tumble it would look stunning!

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  10 дней назад

      Like any feldspar, it can be tumbled but it is probably best to make a cabochon.. They polish nicely, but are best cut on the same plane which has the flash of colour
