This gorgeous bright Heliodor crystal is from Eastern Siberia, and has been tumble polished. You will receive the exact Heliodor crystal pictured. Heliodor is the name given to the yellow variety of Beryl, and is one of the lesser known members of the Beryl family. The name Heliodor comes from the Greek 'Helios' for Sun, and 'Doron' for gift, translating literally to 'gift from the sun'. For some Heliodor crystals, heat treatment will actually turn them green-blue, in which cases they are then sold as the more desirable heated Aquamarine and reach a higher price than for their original yellow colour. This yellow colour is usually caused by iron within the crystal structure. Heliodor Healing Properties include: Brings a bright, sunny and warm energy into your life Encourages you to be more active and energetic Improves self esteem and confidence Excellent study aid as it promotes learning and knowledge retention Helps you to be more confident and assertive
