Notes:
Beryllium is very rare. Its principal ore is beryl, a complex aluminosilicate. When beryl has traces of chromium impurities, it's the emerald. When beryl contains traces of iron it's aquamarine. Beryllium does not occur free in nature. Beryllium is primarily used in alloys, especially copper to form non-sparking tools.
