berylliumrich
Berylliumrich is a hypothetical mineral species described in mineralogical discussions as a rock-forming Be-bearing phase with an unusually high beryllium content. It is used in theoretical material studies to illustrate the upper limits of Be enrichment within silicate minerals and to explore how extreme Be substitution affects crystal chemistry and physical properties.
The proposed idealized composition is Be3SiO6, with possible substitutions by aluminum, iron, or magnesium that modify
Berylliumrich is discussed in the context of Be-rich pegmatites and high-grade metamorphic rocks where appreciable Be
