RB 2004/00025 Beryl in South Australia

Author: Crooks, A.F.;Abbot, P.J.

Gem-quality varieties of beryl occur rarely in South Australia and exist in insufficient quantities to be of current economic interest. Non-gem grade beryl, by contrast, is a widespread accessory mineral in many pegmatites of South Australia, but, at best, forms an erratic and minor component of these pegmatites. It can therefore only be expected to be produced as a minor by-product of pegmatitic feldspar mining where this enterprise is economically viable in its own right.
