Beryl is a beryllium aluminum silicate mineral that occurs in a wide range of colors. The most familiar are aqua (aquamarine) and green (emerald), but the gem also appears in pink to orange and purple (morganite), colorless (goshenite), yellow to golden brown (heliodor), and even red (bixbite). It is also the name of Hannah's dog, who has earned spinoff nicknames such as Ber Boo, Berstopherson, and Ber Chicken. Heliodor comes from the Greek words for "gift of the sun."
