The Beryl and the Aquamarine
The color, composition, and value of beryl and aquamarine compared to the emerald. Also, some fine and valuable specimens of beryl and aquamarine

The beryl and the aquamarine have the general composition and constitution of the emerald; but they differ from it in the absence of the oxide of chromium, which is in them replaced by the oxide of iron. The colour remains the same, but it is much feebler and less pure than in true emeralds.

Beryl.–Among lapidaries and dealers in precious stones the beryl and the aquamarine constitute a well-defined group, altogether distinct from the emerald. With them the beryl is the oriental species of this group, and the aquamarine the occidental.

For a long time the beryl was only known in India; afterwards it was met with in Arabia; and still later remarkable fragments of it were found in Russia, at Beresof, and in the environs of Lake Bolchoi. Aquamarine.–The aquamarine is a stone of but trifling value, and yet it possesses a quality which should have prevented it from falling into its present low estimate; it does not lose its brilliancy in artificial lights.

“It is a curious spectacle,” says Babinet, “to see a magnificent blue sapphire lose in the night all its glories, when a poor trinket of aquamarine not only retains all its effect, but even seems to gain brilliancy. The English are as fond of the aquamarine as the Spanish are of the topaz.”

The greater part of the aquamarines of commerce are furnished by Brazil. They are brought to Europe completely cut, and are sold by weight, but with extreme variations, since large and beautiful specimens are valued at from $75 to $95 the ounce, while the small ones hardly bring $5.

Formerly the aquamarine was very abundant in Daouria, upon the frontiers of China, whence the Russian merchants took them in exchange for furs. They are now found in Siberia, the Ural Mountains, the Altai Mountains, &c.

The emerald, so highly esteemed in our day, was not less valued by the ancients. Pliny describes it in the following terms:–

“There is no colour so pleasing to the eye as that of the emerald. Whoever delights in the verdure of herb and leaf must enjoy infinitely more the contemplation of emeralds, for no verdure can compare to theirs. They are the only stones that charm the eye without wearying it. Even when the eyes are fatigued by having looked too continuously on anything, the sight of an emerald soothes and strengthens them. Lapidaries can find nothing more refreshing for their tired eyes than the soft greenness of this stone. It loses its lustre neither in sun nor in shade, nor in artificial lights. It shines continually with the same soft glow.”

The emerald is mentioned several times in our translation of the Bible, but it is not certain that the word so translated really meant our emerald.

Among precious stones there is not one that has formed the basis of such great exaggerations as the emerald.  It is Herodotus who first describes those gigantic emeralds of which Theophrastus, Appian, and Pliny make later mention. Theophrastus relates that in the books of the Egyptians it was stated that a king of Babylon had sent to one of their kings an emerald four cubits long and three thick; and that there was in Egypt, in a temple of Jupiter, an obelisk made of four emeralds, which nevertheless was forty cubits long, four cubits thick at some places, and two in others. He adds, also, that at the time when he wrote, there was yet to be seen at Tyre, in the temple of Hercules, an upright column, made of a single emerald. Appian, too, describes a colossal statue of Serapis, of the height of nine cubits, carved out of a single emerald.

It is evident that these descriptions do not apply to our modern emerald. The productions they refer to were probably jasper and malachite; and, above all, vitreous masses artificially coloured by metallic oxides.

The finest beryl known is in the collection of Mr. Hope. It weighs nearly 6 1/2 ounces, and cost $2325. It came from the mine of Cangayum, in the district of Coimbatoor, in the East Indies. A magnificent beryl surmounts the globe in the royal crown of England. It is perfectly clear, and of a lovely colour. It is cut in an oval form, and is 2 1/10 inches long, 1 1/2 in width, and 1 1/5 in depth.

A celebrated aquamarine adorned the tiara of Pope Julius II. It measured 2 1/10 inches in length, and 2 2/5 in thickness. Notwithstanding a slight flaw, it was considered by amateurs a very remarkable gem.
