CAS 1302-52-9
:Beryl (Al2Be3(SiO3)6)
Description:
Beryl, with the chemical formula Al2Be3(SiO3)6 and CAS number 1302-52-9, is a mineral composed primarily of beryllium aluminum silicate. It is characterized by its hexagonal crystal system and typically forms prismatic crystals. Beryl is known for its remarkable hardness, ranking 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, which makes it suitable for various industrial applications, including as an abrasive. The mineral exhibits a range of colors, including green (emerald), blue (aquamarine), yellow, and colorless, depending on the presence of trace elements such as chromium, iron, or manganese. Beryl is insoluble in water and most acids, although it can be attacked by hydrofluoric acid. Its density varies but generally falls within the range of 2.6 to 2.8 g/cm³. Beryl is also valued as a gemstone, with certain varieties being highly sought after for their aesthetic qualities. Additionally, it has applications in the aerospace and nuclear industries due to its unique properties, including its ability to absorb neutrons.
