Goshenite History

Goshenite is a colorless variety of the mineral beryl, and gets its name from the small town of Goshen, Massachusetts, where it was first discovered. Referred to as the "Mother of Crystals," goshenite is also associated with motherhood. Goshenite was once used for the manufacturing of eyeglasses, because of its excellent transparency. Though the gem value is relatively low, it is most commonly used for gemstone or metaphysical purposes, and considered as a source of beryllium. Beryllium is a chemical element used as a metal alloy for tool making. Beryllium is also used for windows for x-ray equipment as well as other applications.

Goshenite Geological Properties

Goshenite is a member of the beryl family. Goshenite is an aluminum beryllium silicate mineral that forms in prismatic or vertically striated crystals, sometimes terminated by small pyramidal faces. Other beryl stones include morganite (pink), heliodor (yellow/yellow-green), aquamarine (blue-green), emerald (green) and maxixe (deep blue). Transparent to translucent, with a vitreous luster, goshenite is said to be the purest form of beryl, containing fewer impurities than the colored varieties.

Goshenite can be found all over the world including North and South America, China, Canada, Russia, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Northern Europe, Africa and Asia.

Proper Care of Goshenite

Goshenite gemstones can be cleaned using room temperature water, mild soap and a nonabrasive cloth.

Designing with Goshenite

For thousands of years, colorless beryl has been an ideal substitute for other colorless gemstones. Likewise, goshenite is used as imitation for diamonds and emeralds by applying silver or green metal foil. To simulate other valuable gems, doubles and triplets are constructed by layering sections with colored cement or a thin slice of a natural or synthetic gemstone.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable.
