Element of the Day: Beryllium


Beryl: A Beautiful, Bright Jewel



"I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded with gold of Uphaz! His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire…" Daniel 10:5.6

When Daniel had an intense vision of God, he passed out. When he awoke he described what he saw in terms of the most brilliant things he knew: gold, fire, lightning, and the dazzling gem, beryl!

Beryl is the primary ore for the production of beryllium.
