Draft talk:Red beryl (gem)

Cut the following:
 * ==In fiction==
 * A bixbite stone is the titular artifact in the epic hack novela The Eye of Argon
 * In one pisode of "Narbonic", Dave Davenport cheerfully explains to Helon Narbon, Sr. that her daughter's death ray "use[s] a rare scarlet emerald in the laser apparatus itself."

Put it in the article on the comic - it is irrelevant and unencyclopediac here. --Vsmith 22:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Locations
Removed false locations. Referenced site and others i.e. (http://geology.utah.gov/surveynotes/gladasked/gladberyl.htm) confirm that the mineral is only found in New Mexico, Beaver Co, UT, and Juab Co, UT. The reference site also says, "All other localities listed without reference should be considered as unproven until references can be found."


 * It'd be nice if you signed your comments 76.27.61.74. Here's corroboration for South Africa (content duplicated as HTML). No non-wikipedia sources for the rest. A little research turned for the other locations turned up this. It seems the other locations were for a similarly named mineral with which it is associated: bixbyite. --Belg4mit 01:24, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I've also removed the line about other names (moved to Talk::Bixbyite given that sitaparite likely derives from Sitapar, Madhya Pradesh, India. --Belg4mit 01:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

State gem of Utah?
I've been told numerous times bixbite is the state gemstone of Utah, but the wikipedia table of state gems lists it as being topaz. Did it get changed from topaz to bixbite? --208.65.188.23 (talk) 03:57, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
