I think that the proper name is Beryllium.
The usual name is Beryl = Be3Al2Si6O18 (!!!) It's an oxide (of Si, Al and Be - only 5%).
Originated from Mainly granitic pegmatites.
From the ancient Greek, beryllos, signifying a "precious blue-green color of sea water" stone, but through later usage, applied only to beryl.
Others names:
Aquamarine - blue
Emerald - green
Goshenite - colorless
Heliodor - yellow
Morganite - pink

It occurs naturally. Most of the elements formed in the lab decay very quickly.
