Wikipedia
Beryl
Beryl ( BERR-əl) is a mineral composed of beryllium aluminium silicate with the chemical formula Be3Al2Si6O18. Well-known varieties of beryl include emerald and aquamarine. Naturally occurring, hexagonal crystals of beryl can be up to several meters in size, but terminated crystals are relatively rare. Pure beryl is colorless, but it is frequently tinted by impurities; possible colors are green, blue, yellow, pink, and red (the rarest). It is an ore source of beryllium.

beryl
Beryl is a mineral composed of beryllium aluminium cyclosilicate, typically green or blue in color. It is known for its gemstone varieties, such as emerald and aquamarine. Its circular, six-sided shape is distinctive and it is often sought after by geologists and jewelers. The mineral occurs in certain granitic rocks and pegmatites, but also in mica schists in the Ural Mountains, and limestone in Colombia.
Webster Dictionary
Berylnoun
a mineral of great hardness, and, when transparent, of much beauty. It occurs in hexagonal prisms, commonly of a green or bluish green color, but also yellow, pink, and white. It is a silicate of aluminium and glucinum (beryllium). The aquamarine is a transparent, sea-green variety used as a gem. The emerald is another variety highly prized in jewelry, and distinguished by its deep color, which is probably due to the presence of a little oxide of chromium
