Description: WHOLESALE MICRO LOTBERYL (BIXBITE) with micro QUARTZ Solar Wind Claim, Juab County, Utah Due to age (87) and health need to reduce inventory! This auction is for one wholesale lot of Small Micro size Beryl (Bixbite) xls. coated with micro Quartz as pictured from, Solar Wind Clam, Juab County, Utah. (Approximate size - see centimeter scale). This gemstone has several different names: red beryl, red emerald, or bixbite. Originally, the mineral was named bixbite, but now red beryl is the most accepted designation. Red beryl is estimated to be worth 1,000 times more than gold and is so rare that one red beryl crystal is found for every 150,000 diamonds. In 1904, Maynard Bixby discovered red beryl in the Thomas Range located in Juab County, Utah. Bixby thought it might be a new variety of beryl, but the raspberry- red color did not correlate with any beryl known to exist at that time (green, blue, pink, yellow, and clear/white). W.F. Hillebrand, a geochemist from the National College in Washington, D.C., identified the mineral as a new type of beryl in 1905. In 1912, Dr. A. Eppler named it bixbite in honor of its discoverer.
