Best Answer

Beryllium is a naturally-occuring (albeit rare) mineral often found in the earth's crust. We get gemstones (such as emerald and aquamarine) from beryllium compounds in the environment, so the element itself is not environmentally dangerous. However, it is toxic to plant and human life.
