Short summary
The structure of beryl has been a topic of research for decades but is still not entirely understood. This especially applies to substitutions by Fe ions and the occupation of the channels of beryl by H2O and alkalis. The growing amount of studies makes it difficult to gain an overview on these topics. Therefore, this article reviews the current consensus and debates found in the literature.
