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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMeasuring 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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/6Zy641Lp1UE\"\u003evideo of this exact specimen\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eInformation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e82 Gram\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51 x 31 x 29 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShape\/Cut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Terminated Crystal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClarity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural, Gem Grade Luster\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTreatment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSkardu, Pakistan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5 to 8 (Mohs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFamily\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeryl (Heliodor Variety)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGemstone Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirthstone: Alternative birthstone for November\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZodiac Sign: Leo, Sagittarius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChakra: Solar Plexus Chakra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealing Properties: Heliodor is often associated with confidence and personal empowerment in crystal healing practice, tied to the solar plexus chakra, distinct from the calming associations of its blue relative aquamarine.
