my guess would be gems with "beryl" in their name are a type of gem separate from gems like bixbite

examples:

aquamarine, emerald, bixbite, morganite, heliodor, maxixe, goshenite: separate, completely unique, types

red beryl, caesium beryl, mint beryl, golden beryl, amethiste beryl, aqua beryl, macaw beryl, plain ol beryl: same type (although i think they'd possess physical differences like the jades, they'd still share a similar build and height, and serve the same role in homeworld society)
