Collection: Heliodorus

Heliodor is a precious variety of beryl, from the same group of minerals as emerald and aquamarine. Its name comes from the Greek “helios” (sun) and “doron” (gift), meaning “gift of the sun” in reference to its warm color that varies from pale yellow to golden yellow and sometimes to shades of light green. This rare and elegant stone is prized both for its beauty and its energetic properties .

Heliodor is distinguished by its golden color, which is due to the presence of iron in its chemical composition. It forms in deposits rich in beryl, often alongside other varieties of this mineral family, such as emerald and aquamarine. Heliodor crystals can be found as hexagonal prisms and are often transparent or semi-transparent with a beautiful glassy sheen. The main deposits are in Russia, Brazil, Madagascar, Namibia, and the United States.

Heliodor is known for its radiant and invigorating energetic properties.
In lithotherapy, it is associated with solar energy, joy and mental clarity.
