2. Prices of chemical elements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prices_of_chemical_elements

   When there is no public data on the element in its pure form, price of a compound is used, per mass of element contained. This implicitly puts the value of compounds' other constituents, and the cost of extraction of the element, at zero. For elements whose radiological properties are important, individual isotopes and isomers are listed. The ...

3. Synthetic alexandrite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_alexandrite

   Synthetic alexandrite is an artificially grown crystalline variety of chrysoberyl, composed of beryllium aluminum oxide (BeAl 2 O 4). The name is also often used erroneously to describe synthetically-grown corundum that simulates the appearance of alexandrite , but with a different mineral composition.

   Main chrysoberyl producing countries. The mineral or gemstone chrysoberyl is an aluminate of beryllium with the formula Be Al 2 O 4. [5] [6] The name chrysoberyl is derived from the Greek words χρυσός chrysos and βήρυλλος beryllos, meaning "a gold-white spar".

5. Alexandrite effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandrite_effect

   The Alexandrite effect has also been observed in some other minerals, such as fluorite, sapphire, kyanite, monazite, spinel, garnet, tourmaline, and rare-earth oxalates. Not to be confused with the alexandrite effect, some minerals also exhibit pleochroism. The former is a response to different wavelengths of light in general, the latter an ...

   Gilson's emeralds are usually grown on natural colorless beryl seeds which become coated on both sides. Growth occurs at the rate of 1 millimetre (0.039 in) per month, a typical seven-month growth run producing emerald crystals of 7 mm of thickness. [39] The green color of emeralds is widely attributed to presence of Cr 3+ ions.

   Growth occurs at the rate of 1 mm per month, a typical seven-month growth run produces emerald crystals 7 mm thick. [ 34 ] Hydrothermal synthetic emeralds have been attributed to IG Farben , Nacken, Tairus , and others, but the first satisfactory commercial product was that of Johann Lechleitner of Innsbruck , Austria, which appeared on the ...
