Golden Beryl, also called Heliodor, can be exquisite (Helios = the Sun).. Clear, colorless Beryl, called "Goshenite" is beautiful, but not spectacular. Red Beryl can be spectacular, very rare, and found in Utah (USA). There is also greenish blue "Green Beryl", which some call "Greenish Aquamarine". The Ocean View Mine, in Pala, Calif. produces a "Watermelon Aquamarine" , a transparent/translucent light blue stone with a pink (Morganite) center (I found samples). (The Ocean View Mine is a commercial mine and a "Pay to dig" mine, where for a fee, people can come to hunt for Tourmaline, Aquamarine, Quartz Crystals, etc.. And it is near to the Pala Indian Casino & spa.)
