A Terminated Yellow Heliodor Crystal From Skardu
This heliodor crystal weighs 82 grams and comes from Skardu, Pakistan, a locality that produces this yellow variety of beryl alongside the region's better known aquamarine and morganite. Heliodor takes its yellow to golden color from trace iron content within the beryl structure, the same mineral family, just a different color variety produced by different trace elements during formation.
Measuring 51 x 31 x 29 mm, this crystal is fully terminated and completely free of damage, with good color and luster across its faces. Heliodor doesn't come to market nearly as often as aquamarine or morganite from the same beryl family, which makes a clean, undamaged specimen like this one a genuine addition for collectors who already have the more common beryl varieties and are looking to round out that part of a collection. To see the crystal's color and luster in more detail, we'd recommend watching the video of this exact specimen.

FAQS
What is heliodor?
Heliodor is the yellow to golden variety of beryl, the same mineral family as aquamarine and morganite, colored by trace iron content during crystal formation.
Is this heliodor crystal natural and untreated?
Yes. This specimen from Skardu, Pakistan is completely natural with no heat treatment or color enhancement.
Is heliodor rarer than aquamarine or morganite?
Yes, heliodor comes to market less frequently than its blue and pink beryl relatives, making a clean, undamaged specimen like this one comparatively harder to find.
Is the crystal damaged or does it have any chips?
No, the crystal is fully terminated and completely free of damage.
Is this specimen suitable for jewelry or display only?
This is sold as a raw mineral specimen for display and collecting. Cutting it would remove the natural termination that gives this piece its specimen value.
