Pezzottaite

like Chrysoberyl, Pezzottaite is a rare raspberry colored distant cousin of Beryl which makes up stones like Aquamarine and Emerald, however is its own distinct species from them. Its made in the same slow cooling magma with the same base ingredients as Beryl but with addition of cesium and lithium in its chemical structure to form a new mineral

They are found in Madagascar and Afghanistan and still have that traditional look of an Emerald but with gorgeous shades and hues of raspberry pinks and reds. So if you love the look of Emeralds but want something different these are a must have
