Description

A superb, golden-hued heliodor of true yellow color - no orange or pale citrine-like color here. This is heliodor the way the name (from Helios, for sun), intended to describe a rock.

A gemmy rich golden Beryl crystal with textbook form and clarity. No internal flaws. To say the least it did not go to the cutters.

The beautful gem crystal comes with a fantastic 11 mm gemstone.

Very well cut and polished with a small table, nice bright gem, rich golden yellow color, eye clean, great center stone
