Introduction
Beryllium’s Stellar Journey: From Space to Earthly Uses
What if the green glow of an emerald wasn’t born on Earth? In this episode, we reveal how one of the rarest elements in the universe, beryllium, forms not in volcanoes or deep mines, but in the violent aftermath of exploding stars. Follow a Geneva physicist and a gem dealer as we clear up the cosmic origins of emeralds, from interstellar collisions to mineral inclusions, and discover how every gemstone carries the legacy of "galactic violence". This is not just gemology; it’s astrophysics in a gemstone.

With over ten years of marketing experience, I finally decided to settle down in Bangkok to work in an area that I have always been interested in: the gemstones industry. I'm still learning how the market works on a daily basis, and I enjoy sharing my experience with those who are interested in learning more about gems in general.
