TeAra, It's all in the wording.. and don't worry about what you typed.. I (most of us) knew what you meant.. Lets not bicker abotu technacalities.. To those of you who want presise identification.. and the wording to go along with it.. best head over the Mindat.. Otherwise, Not corrections are needed here, but then again.. The only way to tell what soemthing really is.. is have it tested.. It is what one feels or thinks it could be.. and all stones (All Stones or Crystals) can be any color.. So if TeAra feels it's a beyrl, than it's a beryl.. and I'll not doubt her word, nor should you or leave your objectionable comments at the door.. it's ok to suggest what you feel soemthing is.. But it's not far to dash someones hopes on what something could be. my 2 cents worth..
