What is Goshenite?


Goshenite, also known as white beryl, is the colorless to near-colorless variety of beryl. It is named after Goshen, Massachusetts, a community near one of the first deposits found in the United States.

Goshenite is often found as colorless to near-colorless, hexagonal crystals with exceptional clarity. It is also found as water-worn pebbles in alluvial deposits.
