Beryllium was discovered in 1798 (as the oxide in beryl and emerald) by Nicolas-Louis Vauquelin. Friedrich Wöhler and Antoine -Alexandre Brutus Bussy independently isolated it in 1828 by reacting potassium and beryllium chloride.
That Bec & Melman are AMAZING! ;)

it used to be known as glucinium (?) because it was sweet. Unfortunately for the few scientist who discovered this, beryllium is also poisonous.
It was found in emeralds from the mountains of France and California. ------ The first mineral with beryllium was an emerald from Peru, studied by the German chemist Klaproth; similar gems were analyzed by Bindheim and Hauy. In 1798 the French chemist Vauquelin identified in the gems a new metal oxide, initially called glucina. After 30 years Bussy and Wohler, separately, isolated the pure metal by reacting potassium and beryllium chloride.
Beryllium was first discovered in France 1797 , by Nicholas Louis Vauguelin.

Beryllium was discovered by Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin in 1798 as a component of beryl and in emeralds. Friedrich Wöhler and Antoine Bussy independently isolated the metal in 1828 by reacting potassium and beryllium chloride. Beryllium's chemical similarity to aluminium was probably why beryllium was missed in previous searches.
Yes it was discovered on accident
