BERYLLONITE

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 818 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BER-BLA
BERYLLONITE , a
mineral
  phosphate of
beryllium
  and sodium, NaBePO4, found as highly complex orthorhombic crystals and as broken fragments in the disintegrated material of a granitic vein at Stoneham,
Maine
 , where it is associated with felspar, smoky
quartz
 , beryl and columbite. It was discovered by Prof. E. S.
Dana
  in 1888, and named beryllonite because it contains
beryllium
  in large amount. The crystals vary from colourless to
white
  or
pale
  yellowish, and are trans-parent with a vitreous lustre; there is a perfect cleavage in one direction. Hardness 51-6; specific gravity 2.845. A few crystals have been cut and faceted, but, as the refractive index is no higher than that of
quartz
 , they do not make very brilliant gem-stones.
