Orange beryl from India.

- Abstract
The article describes some deep orange beryl from India which were displayed by Cameron McGowan and Willie Neilson at the 2008 Tucson gem shows. According to the dealer, he had collected the stones from central India over an unspecified period of time. A representative 4.47 carat modified cushion step cut was loaned to American Gemological Laboratories to investigate the origin of color in the stones. Numerous small needles and platelets, possibly hematite, that appeared brownish reddish orange were revealed by microscopic examination.
