Rare Chrysoberyl Crystal/Espiritu Santo 4b22319f36edbcad6fd0674fa3989e4c 000 years agoThe name Chrysoberyl is from the Greek words (chrysos and beryllos), meaning a gold white spar. Although the word "beryl" is in the word Chrysoberyl, they are two completely different gems. Chrysoberyl is formed from the same elements that Alexandrite and Cymophane (Cat's Eye) are comprised of. It is very similar to Alexandrite but lacks the photochromic color changing properties of Alexandrite. It is a rare gemstone that is transparent yellow green.
