Heliodor

Item Description

Beryl comes in virtually every color of the rainbow. This particular gem is a very good size, beautiful, vibrant yellow Heliodor from the Brazilian gem fields. This stone is virtually eye clean and has a very good "canary yellow" color with a standard "Brilliant Pear" cut. What's most impressive about this stone, aside from the size, is the fact that it is confirmed naturually occurring Heliodor, and has not been heated to enhance the color. You don't see many Heliodors around that are over 4 carats with this color these days. Gem quality Heliodors are becoming more and more difficult to find from Brazil, even more rare than Aquamarines. The retail value on this gem is approximately $360.
