I'm not sure what I found here. I'm wondering if it's not beryl?

Beautiful stones. Can I ask where you found them? Not exact location just general. Somebody smarter about minerals than me will be along to help you, I am sure. Looks like peridot to me but I am not saying it is. Thanks for sharing.

Oh. I think Arc is the guy you need to ask about them. Or Blakbart.

Cool!

In your thread title, I presume you are quoting the known composition of beryl rather than the actual composition of your own specimens? They look like water tumbled fragments of glass to me. I can see what look like the residual traces of conchoidal fracturing on some of them.

I think you have common sea glass.....green bottles that have been broken in the past are tumbled in the surf and worn down and polished by the action of waves and sand. They are quite collectable, and green is very desirable for jewelry creators and artist !! Sprite green is very sought after and prized by the "sea glassers" and "mudlarkers" there is a large community of collectors (myself included) and some of the more perfect pieces are often termed "gem quality" because of there desirability with jewelry makers. I could be wrong, and they might be gemstones of some sort, but I'm pretty confident there sea glass. Congrats on your finds and happy hunting !!

i can agree to that
but.. i find them and only them all alone within fragments of time
always about the same size, always shades of green
i don't know what they are.

I used to hunt for sea glass when I was a kid. A nice piece of ocean-smoothed blue was really nice to find but a red one was like finding gold. There is a place in Russia that is a sea glass hunter's dream come true. One can find more there in one day than I could find in a lifetime here on the New England coast.

Have to agree with Bart, looks like tumbled glass.

If at a 1715 beach, it would be good to watch for emeralds also. But don't think you could be metal detecting at one of them.
