Chrysoberyl is a rare mineral belonging to the beryllium aluminum oxide family, known for its high refractive index and dispersion, which gives it a unique sparkle. It is found in various colors, including yellow, green, and blue, and is the primary source of the gemstones alexandrite and chrysoberyl cat's eye. Due to its hardness and durability, chrysoberyl is highly valued in the jewelry industry, particularly for its ability to be cut into various shapes and sizes without losing its luster. The mineral is also used in industrial applications, such as in the production of certain types of lasers and as a gemstone in watchmaking for its hardness and resistance to wear.
The CAS Registry Mumber 1304-50-3 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 1,3,0 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 0 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 1304-50: (6*1)+(5*3)+(4*0)+(3*4)+(2*5)+(1*0)=43 43 % 10 = 3 So 1304-50-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
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).
