Aquamarine or emeralds, for instance (5)

I believe the answer is:

beryl

(Other definitions for beryl that I've seen before include "Precious stone of which emerald is a variety" , "Mineral, aquamarine if blue" , "Pale greenish" , "Coloured stone" , "Girl's name - gemstone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
