https://www.facebook.com/mysticalinceptions/videos/1235034363353293/ This is a 100% NATURAL red beryl, red Emerald, aka Bixbite crystal from the Violet Mine, Wah Wah Mountains, Beaver County in Utah, USA. It weighs 2.425 Carats and measures 10mm x 6mm x 5.5mm. This particular Red Beryl has some gemmy quality to it with Great Color Saturation and form. It has a nice beautiful deep color of purplish red. This Bixbite has been in my collection for several years. It was always the best one I had. Someone recently contacted me to say that this is a Trapiche specimen. I'm not sure about that simply because I'm inexperienced with identifying trapiche beryls. This crystal is doubly terminated. The bottom termination is a larger flat hexagonal face that's almost entirely covered by a thin layer of rhyolite matrix. The top termination is awesome with a small hexagonal scepter that has grown atop the center, surrounded by other smaller stepped terminations. The bottom termination is mostly encrusted with rhyolite matrix. I notice several extremely tiny red beryl formations that are also hidden within some of the attached white rhyolite. Please study the photos and watch the facebook video in HD. Contact me with any questions. Additional info below. Thanks for looking!
The gemstone has several different names: red beryl, red emerald, or bixbite. Originally, the mineral was named bixbite, but now red beryl is the most accepted designation. Red beryl is estimated to be worth 1,000 times more than gold and is so rare that one red beryl crystal is found for every 150,000 diamonds. In 1904, Maynard Bixby discovered red beryl in the Thomas Range located in Juab County, Utah. Bixby thought it might be a new variety of beryl, but the raspberry- red color did not correlate with any beryl known to exist at that time (green, blue, pink, yellow, and clear/white). W.F. Hillebrand, a geochemist from the National College in Washington, D.C., identified the mineral as a new type of beryl in 1905.In 1912, Dr. A. Eppler named it bixbite in honor of its discoverer. Laboratory analysis showed that manganese and small amounts of iron, chromium, and calcium create the raspberry-red color of red beryl. Like other beryl, red beryl has a hardness of 7.5 to 8.0 and its chemical composition is Be3Al2Si6O18. Red beryl formation began with the eruption of a topaz rhyolite lava from volcanic vents. As the lava began to cool, shrinkage cracks formed, creating pathways for high temperature gases rich in beryllium to escape. Oxidized surface water also began seeping into these cracks and mixed with the rising beryllium gases. The gases reacted with the surface water, silica, alkali feldspar, and iron-manganese oxides from the lava to form red beryl crystals. Red beryl probably grew at temperatures between 300 to 650 degrees Celsius. Red beryl is presently found at only three locations in the world: the Thomas Range and the Wah Wah Mountains in west-central Utah, and the Black Range in New Mexico. The crystals occur primarily as elongated hexagonal crystals that are up to 15 mm in length, and the largest crystal discovered to date is 14 mm wide and 34 mm long. Red beryl is generally found along large, near-vertical, northwest-trending fractures and clay-filled seams within the rhyolite member of the Blawn Formation. The rhyolite erupted approximately 18 to 20 million years ago from volcanic vents in the area. CRYSTAL MEANINGS AND METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES of BIXBITE. Keywords: Soothing, Harmony;
