Heliodor

Beryl, ‘the mother of gemstones’ has a yellow variety very commonly called by the name heliodor. Heliodor’s astrological sign is Leo. Beryl is a well known gemstone occurring in various colors which include- pale green to blue (aquamarine), the intense green emerald, the pale yellow to yellowish-orange (heliodor) and the pale pink to salmon colored (morganite). Beryl is also found occurring as the colorless gem variety goshenite as well as the very rare red beryl variety bixbite.

The word ‘heliodor’ is derived from Greek language and it means the sun and gift with reference to its color. The fine golden beryl variety which was minted from a particular location in South West Africa was initially referred to as heliodor in the early 20th century with an aim to gain publicity. But today heliodor is simply another name for yellow or golden beryl after discarding all claims.
