Origin & History
Where Beryllonite comes from and how people have worked with it over time.
Beryllonite is a phosphate mineral with the formula NaBePO4, first described from deposits in North America and later found in a handful of other locations. It typically forms in granitic pegmatites rich in rare elements, where changing chemical conditions allow unusual phosphates to grow. Because fine crystals are uncommon and the species is relatively soft, beryllonite has remained a collector's gemstone rather than a mainstream jewelry stone. Cut examples highlight its glassy lustre and can display attractive dispersion under the right lighting.
How It Forms
It forms in evolved granitic pegmatites and related environments where beryllium- and phosphate-bearing fluids crystallise into rare mineral species.

Modern Use
Today beryllonite is prized mainly by mineral and gemstone collectors, with faceted stones appearing in high-end custom pieces rather than mass-market jewelry.
