Heliodor is a golden yellow variety of beryl, the same mineral family that includes emerald and aquamarine. Its color comes from trace amounts of iron, and it rates 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs hardness scale.
In crystal healing traditions, heliodor is considered a hope stone associated with personal willpower, mental clarity, and relief from stress. It connects to solar energy and the solar plexus chakra.
Heliodor deposits exist in Brazil, Madagascar, Namibia, Ukraine, and Russia. The stone was first identified near Rössing station in Namibia in the early 1900s.
