Is beryl a silicate or silicate?
It's a silicate mineral with an unusual composition:Beryl contains the element beryllium.It is a ring silicate - the silicate tetrahedra are linked to form rings!Beryl commonly grows as elongate crystals with hexagonal cross sections.Formula Be3Al2Si6O18Mineralogists focus on the silicate part of the formula, and represent the compound as containing isolated cyclic silicate ions Si6O186- with Be2+ and Al3+. However beryllium forms mainly covalent compounds BeO is a giant molecule with 4 coordinate beryllium atoms. As aluminium can be substituted to a small extent without disturbing the crystal by the chromium ion, Cr3+ , (which as it is as a transition metal adds color) to form the gemstone emerald. A better description of the structure is to include the beryllium in the ion which gives an infinite lattice (Be3Si6O18)n6n-
