Literary analysis:
In literature, "beryl" is not merely a gemstone but also a striking color that evokes the cool, luminous quality of sea-green light. Writers have used it to create vivid visual accents, as seen when a room’s decor is enhanced with touches of beryl amid dull ivory and peacock blue, adding an unexpected and subtle brilliance to the setting [1]. Poetic descriptions further elevate the color, describing beryl as "transparent, brilliant, and of a sea‐green hue," thereby imbuing objects with an almost magical quality that lightens and soothes the mood [2]. In another instance, nature herself is rendered in beryl tones, with mosses described as being “beryl steeped,” suggesting an organic and mystical fusion of color and life [3].
  1. The furniture is painted in dull ivory with touches of gold and beryl and the bed cover is peacock blue.
    — from The Merry-Go-Round by Carl Van Vechten
  2. The third amulet bore the beryl, “transparent, brilliant, and of a sea-green hue,” evidently the aquamarine beryl; this banished fear.
    — from The Curious Lore of Precious Stones Being a description of their sentiments and folk lore, superstitions, symbolism, mysticism, use in medicine, protection, prevention, religion, and divination. Crystal gazing, birth-stones, lucky stones and talismans, astral, zodiacal, and planetary by George Frederick Kunz
  3. Long ferns, in murmuring masses heaped; And mosses moist, in beryl steeped
    — from The Poems of Madison Cawein, Volume 3 (of 5) Nature poems by Madison Julius Cawein
