A colorless variety of beryl, a precious or semi-precious gemstone that is transparent and often used as a substitute for diamond.
Named after Goshen, Connecticut, where this variety of beryl was first discovered or identified, following the mineralogical practice of naming minerals after their discovery locations.
Goshenite is a clear beryl that's so good at imitating diamond that jewelry makers have used it as an affordable substitute for centuries—it's basically nature's costume jewelry!
