Heliodor

This natural heliodor, weighing 0.81 ct, captivates with its intense, luminous golden hue - a particularly attractive color quality that is considered a key indicator of quality in heliodor. The excellently executed cushion cut effectively showcases the brilliant golden-yellow color. Slight natural inclusions underscore its unique character and natural origin.

The heliodor originates from southern Africa. The rough stone was sourced for us directly from the source through our partners, inspected by us, and then expertly cut.

⁽*⁾To the best of our knowledge and according to information from our local partners, the gemstone is untreated.

For an additional fee, we'd be happy to arrange for a certificate from an independent gemological institute to be issued for this gemstone.

The photos and videos of the stone were taken without filters or color correction.

Interesting Facts About Heliodor

Heliodor, or golden beryl, is the yellow to golden-yellow variety of the mineral beryl. Its color spectrum ranges from a delicate, pale yellow through slightly greenish-yellow hues to intense, vibrant golden tones. Transparent heliodors with a rich, uniform golden-yellow color are particularly sought after, as they are among the highest-quality specimens of this gemstone variety.

Natural inclusions are characteristic features of a natural gemstone. They can provide clues about its natural origin and help distinguish it from synthetic or imitation materials. At the same time, clarity - along with color, cut, and carat weight - is one of the key factors that determine a gemstone’s quality and value.

High-quality heliodors are particularly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of rare beryl varieties. Larger, transparent stones with an intense, uniform golden-yellow color, very good clarity, and excellent cut are in particularly high demand. Exceptional specimens that combine these characteristics are available only in limited quantities and can command a special market position due to their color, size, and rarity. However, future performance cannot be predicted and always depends on quality, carat weight, rarity, and demand.
