Treatments
Goshenite can be colored yellow, green, pink, blue and in intermediate colors by irradiating it with high-energy particles. The resulting color depends on the content of Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Fe, and Co impurities. - Ibragimova, E. M. et al.(2009). "Correlations between admixtures and color centers created upon irradiation of natural beryl crystals".
