Room temperature polarized Raman scattering and infrared reflectance spectra of a chrysoberyl single crystal have been measured. The IR spectra interpretation was aided by a Kramers-Krönig analysis. Thirty-one out of 36 theoretically expected Raman active bands have been identified and assigned....detailed
Gahnite (ZnAl2O4), chrysoberyl (BeAl2O4) and beryl (Be3Al2Si6O18) have been found as accessory minerals in the external, highly fractionated, leucogranitic unit within the Hercynian reversely zoned Belvís de Monroy pluton (westernmost part of the Montes de Toledo batholith, Cáceres, Spain).
