HELIODOR (YELLOW-GREEN BERYL) EXTRA-GRADE CRYSTAL (32.7 ct) | HANDCRAFTED PENDANT & RHODIUM-PLATED NECKLACE

A gift from the Sun transformed into a piece of "Geojewelry." This exclusive LAZZERINI-GEOJOIAS creation features a rare natural Heliodor crystal—an EXTRA gem-grade Yellow-Green Beryl weighing approximately 32.7 ct—preserved in its euhedral prismatic habit. Originating from the Lufa region (Novo Cruzeiro, Minas Gerais, Brazil), the crystal is encased in handcrafted wirework and paired with an elongated American-link chain. Both elements feature a white rhodium finish, creating a sophisticated contrast between the metal's cool luster and the stone's yellow-green radiance.

ORIGIN & THE SCIENCE OF BEAUTY

Heliodor is a yellow to yellow-green variety of Beryl, belonging to the same mineral family as Emerald, Aquamarine, Morganite, and Goshenite. It is a beryllium-aluminum cyclosilicate (formula Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈) that crystallizes in the hexagonal system. Its color ranges from lemon yellow to golden and yellow-green, primarily due to the presence of iron in its structure.

This EXTRA-grade specimen stands out for its beautiful yellow-green color, translucency, and minimal matrix (less than 25%). Its euhedral prismatic habit—featuring preserved natural geometry, vitreous luster, and a hardness of approximately 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale—transforms the crystal itself into a design crafted by geology.

SYMBOLISM & ENERGY — TRADITIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Its name derives from *Helios* (Sun) and *doron* (gift)—the origin of the traditional phrase "Gift of the Sun." In contemporary crystal traditions, Heliodor symbolizes clarity, optimism, focus, confidence, and the drive to achieve; it is also associated with new beginnings and the determination to reach one's goals. These associations belong to the cultural and metaphysical realms and do not replace medical or therapeutic advice.

CHAKRAS

Traditionally associated primarily with the Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)—aligning with its yellow and golden hues and symbolically linked to confidence, motivation, and personal power. Consulted sources also note associations with the Heart Chakra (Anahata) and the Crown Chakra (Sahasrara).

ZODIAC

In traditional references gathered from the source material, Heliodor is associated with Pisces, Leo, and Virgo.
