Goshenite Gemstone Meaning

In this post, we will be exploring the goshenite gemstone meaning from a numerology perspective. Goshenite is the colourless form of beryl. It is considered the purest form of all beryl and includes Emerald, Aquamarine, Morganite, Heliodor, and Red Beryl. The impurities in beryl give it their different colours.

Thus, goshenite may also be referred to as the mother of gemstone given that it can transform into distinct varieties due to the presence of different inclusions.

All gemstones or crystals have vibrational energies that we may draw on to improve our lives either from a spiritual, mental, or physical healing perspective.

But there are many views on the meaning of each gemstone or crystal, and it can get rather complicated, lengthy, or confusing to appreciate the healing benefits they can bring.

Nevertheless, there are common grounds of agreement on the benefits of a gemstone if you take the time to read up and harmonise them.

I try to do this work here as best as I can. And what I have done further is to cross-reference the common vibrational energy meanings with numerology by understanding the gemstone through the interpretation of the numbers.

It helps to set more stringent criteria to confirm the meaning of a gemstone. And doing so helps to provide added confidence and comfort to understand that a gemstone has the desirable vibrational energies that we want.

So let’s get right into finding out the goshenite gemstone properties and their benefits!

Goshenite Gemstone Properties

Goshenite was first discovered in Goshen in Massachusetts USA hence the name.

And as mentioned, goshenite is the pure form of beryl. Therefore, its chemical formula is exactly beryllium aluminum cyclosilicate (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈) without the need to consider impurities such as iron or manganese.

Common Vibrational Energy Meanings of Goshenite

After researching and comparing various sources that explain the meaning of goshenite, the following wordings should sufficiently summarise its common vibrational energy meaning:

• Enhance mental capability, particularly in analytical and mathematical mastery. It helps one to have greater clarity and take appropriate actions.
• Motivates truthfulness and recognises the truth in others.
• Encourages loyalty and focus, helping one to persevere and do what needs to be done.
• Improve relationships in general where its energy helps create a courteous and good-humoured approach.

Going by these definitions, goshenite looks to be aligned with Character Root Number 7 (Celebrity), where being sociable and having a sense of justice are some of the main characteristics. 

Goshenite may also be aligned with the characteristics of a Character Root Number 4 (Mastermind), corresponding to the analytical abilities in bullet point 1 above.

You can refer to my earlier post, Numerology Number Meaning, to have a quick summary of the meaning of the 9 numbers.

However, the above viewpoint does not synchronise with the results from the character root number derivation either by name or by the chemical formula method, which we will discuss below.

Character Root Number Derivation and Meanings

To improve our understanding of the above definitions, what we can do is to cross-reference using numerology.

From a numerology perspective, we can calculate the representative number of a gemstone to understand its vibrational energy through the meaning of the number.

And there are 2 methods we can do this, and these are using the name and using the chemical formula. Generally, the norm is to use the name of the gemstone or crystal to calculate the vibration number / Character Root Number.

But the name of the gemstone can differ across languages. Hence, I have a preference to use the chemical formula as a universal approach and as a further check.

You can read more from my earlier post, Numerology of Gemstone, on this approach.

The ideal state for this theory is that if both methods above plus the common vibrational energy meaning all points to the same interpretation, we can be more assured that the meaning is correct.

Achieving this ideal state can be challenging, but this helps to ringfence the hundreds of gemstone variations down to a handful that is truly meaningful and valuable to own from a numerology perspective.

Of course, it then also depends on whether you need such a stone based on your numerology chart calculation.

For goshenite, this ideal state is not achievable, but we can draw some insights on how best to tap on the energies of this gemstone.

Let’s have a look at the calculation for goshenite below.

By Name

The calculation to derive the Character Root Number of goshenite works out as follows:

G	O	S	H	E	N	I	T	E
7	6	1	8	5	5	9	2	5

Based on the above, the Character Root Number is 7 + 6 + 1 + 8 + 5 + 5 + 9 + 2 + 5 = 48 = 12 = 1 + 2 = 3.

The positive and negative characteristics of a Character Root Number 3, Energizer, are summarised as follows:

Generally, when we seek to understand the gemstone’s vibrational energy meanings, we will find positive meanings only.

Hence, when we derive the gemstone energy properties through the number meanings, the usual assumption is that we will only look at the positive side too.

However, in this case, the common vibrational energy descriptions illustrated in the earlier section do not match with the positive characteristics of a character root number 3.

Instead, goshenite seems more suitable to curb the negative energies side.

People who belong to the number 3 personality are action takers. They want to get things done quickly, so they may be prone to being temperamental, impatient, and making rash moves.

As such, the vibrational energies of goshenite will help them to think things through more carefully before taking action. It will also help them to improve relationships with a heartier mood.

By Chemical Formula

We now look at the Character Root Number derivation of goshenite using its chemical formula. The chemical composition of goshenite is purely beryllium aluminum cyclosilicate with the formula Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈.

The calculation works out as follows:

B3	e3	A2	l2	S6	i6	O18
2×3	5×3	1×2	3×2	1×6	9×6	6×18
6	15	2	6	6	54	108

Based on the above translation from alphabets to numbers, the Character Root Number is 6 + 15 + 2 + 6 + 6 + 54 + 108 = 197 = 17 = 1 + 7 = 8.

As such, goshenite has a vibration number calculation of 8 based on chemical formula.

The summary of the positive and negative characteristics of a Character Root Number 8 (Guardian) is as follows:

While the calculation of the character root number based on chemical formula has a different result from the computation based on name, you will find similarities between the numbers 3 and 8.

Both numbers have an action mentality, and they, therefore, belong to the element of fire.

And when we look at the negative characteristics of character root number 8, the vibrational energies of goshenite will have a similar positive effect to minimise or neutralise such negativity.

3-Way Cross Referencing of Goshenite Gemstone Meaning

From a common vibrational energy meaning perspective, goshenite aligns with the positive characteristics of character root number 7.

And what we can see is that goshenite is beneficial for character root numbers 3 and 8 personalities to curb its negative energies.

As there are disagreements between the 3 methods, the meaning of goshenite can only be based on the common vibrational energy description at best.

Therefore, I would not recommend goshenite as a gemstone for use from a numerology perspective.

When Do You Need Goshenite

Nevertheless, being referred to as the mother of gemstones (at least in the beryl family), goshenite might still be a fascinating gemstone to have.

It is relatively rare in terms of its availability as jewelry due to its colourless nature. And this is in contrast to the other popular varieties in the beryl family, such as emerald or aquamarine.

However, goshenite can be an alternative to diamonds, where the polished and faceted version of goshenite will also have a beautiful shine.

While goshenite did not pass the test here in terms of being numerologically aligned amongst the vibrational energy meanings of the 3 methods, it might still be worth considering based on the above.

And from the assessment earlier, goshenite may be beneficial for people who belong to the character root numbers 7 and 4 to enhance their positive characteristics. It may also be helpful for people in character root numbers 3 and 8 to counteract their negativity.

Perhaps, goshenite, being the mother of gemstone, can be universally used across all personalities.
