It was found in emeralds from the mountains of France and California. ------ The first mineral with beryllium was an emerald from Peru, studied by the German chemist Klaproth; similar gems were analyzed by Bindheim and Hauy. In 1798 the French chemist Vauquelin identified in the gems a new metal oxide, initially called glucina. After 30 years Bussy and Wohler, separately, isolated the pure metal by reacting potassium and beryllium chloride.

What month was beryllium discovered?
Beryllium was discovered in 1798 (as the oxide in beryl and emerald) by Nicolas-Louis Vauquelin. Friedrich Wöhler and Antoine -Alexandre Brutus Bussy independently isolated it in 1828 by reacting potassium and beryllium chloride.
What is an fact about the element beryllium?
it used to be known as glucinium (?) because it was sweet. Unfortunately for the few scientist who discovered this, beryllium is also poisonous.
Is Beryllium compound element or mixture?
Yes. It is the compound of the elements Beryllium and fluorine.
Is beryllium an oxide?
No. Beryllium is a metallic element. However, there is a such thing of beryllium oxide, which forms when beryllium combines with oxygen.

Who discovered bryllium?
I do not know of "bryllium" perhaps you men "beryllium":Beryllium was discovered by Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin in 1798 as a component of beryl and in emeralds. Friedrich Wöhler and Antoine Bussy independently isolated the metal in 1828 by reacting potassiumand beryllium chloride. Beryllium's chemical similarity to aluminum was probably why beryllium was missed in previous searches.
