Colorless beryl is called ''goshenite''. The name originates from [[Goshen, Massachusetts]], where it was originally discovered. In the past, goshenite was used for manufacturing eyeglasses and lenses owing to its transparency. Nowadays, it is most commonly used for gemstone purposes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.galleries.com/minerals/gemstone/goshenit/goshenit.htm |title=Goshenite, the colorless variety of beryl |access-date=2009-06-06 |df=dmy-all |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090630132542/http://www.galleries.com/minerals/gemstone/goshenit/goshenit.htm |archive-date=2009-06-30 |publisher=Amethyst Galleries}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://opticalmineralogy.com/the-silicates-mineral-class/goshenite-gem/ |title=Goshenite Gem |date=March 2, 2009 |website=Optical Mineralogy.com |access-date=2009-06-06 |df=dmy-all |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090709230558/http://opticalmineralogy.com/the-silicates-mineral-class/goshenite-gem/ |archive-date=2009-07-09}}</ref>

The gem value of goshenite is relatively low. However, 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.<ref name="Ibragimova-2009"/>
