The british military marking for BeO is a pale blue color. Normally a paint
spot but I've seen insulators that were tinted blue.

The problem that I'm familiar with is dust made when machining beryllium. In
the 60s, MIT had a whole building that was full of the stuff leftover from
machining parts for the Polaris guidance system. Beryllium is light and
stiff, good for making gyros.

Since we're on the subject, what does BeO typically look like when it's used as
a washer, heatsink, etc. I ask because I tend to keep everything and I modify
things all the time. Is there any way besides being painted that it could pass
as Al?

I've personally seen three applications of BeO in electronics. Two,
including the most common, are a possible hazzard.
The most common application is RF power devices (transistors and terminating
resistors). These hace a washer or slab of BeO between

Three other places one may encounter beryllium are:
1) Beryllium copper springs and contacts, usually around 2-3% beryllium. Not
likely to cause a problem unless you get your jollies grinding up springy
metal and snorting the powder.
2) Beryllium tools! Tools (particularly screwdrivers

Hi Bruce:
Thanks for the MDA Technology link. I didn't know that Beryllium was used to
make mirrors and their metering structures for space apps. It sure sounds like
the best material for that use. I'd bet that's how spy sat mirrors are made.
Have Fun,
