Beryllium Treatment for Tourmaline?

Can Tourmaline be treated with Beryllium like Sapphires? I've seen an Etsy seller with really nice Tourmalines saying "heat treated with Beryllium". I know low heat is normal for Tourmaline but the Beryllium gave me pause because as far as I know Tourmaline cant survive this process. Am I right in thinking this is a red flag and doesn't add up?

Anybody know what this pattern is?

Anybody know the name of the pattern on the left? I tried to imitate it but it didn’t come out exactly the same. Does anyone know a tutorial/youtube video?

Am I the only one that keeps forgetting to shut this darn thing at the end of the day coming back to dry flux? ☹️ I end up having to put water in it and mixing it up.
