Exclusive Golden Heliodor Pure Crystal • 11.35 carats - Height: 15 mm - Width: 10 mm- 2.27 g - (1)

A quiet golden light rises from within this finely preserved Heliodor, a crystal whose warm yellow body colour seems to carry the memory of ancient sunlight trapped inside the Earth. Its clarity is unusually high for this variety, allowing the inner channels of the beryl structure to shimmer through the surface with a soft, glasslike brightness.

This specimen displays a complete and sharply defined termination on the upper end, with geometric faces that meet in precise natural symmetry. The columnar body offers a rich golden saturation that transitions subtly between lighter and deeper tones, depending on how the light passes through the crystal. Scattered around its lower half lie delicate ferruginous traces, a natural fingerprint left by iron rich fluids during the final stages of formation. These markings tell the geological story of its growth without disturbing the transparency of the interior.

The crystal stands as a genuine single piece, untouched by cutting or polishing, presenting itself exactly as nature shaped it. Its translucency and internal brightness elevate it beyond the typical material found on the market, placing it among the more desirable examples for collectors of high grade beryl.

Likely originating from the famed pegmatite veins of Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan, an area known for producing Heliodor crystals of exceptional warmth and purity, this specimen reflects the best qualities of the region: strong architecture, elevated clarity and captivating colour.

A small yet powerful piece for connoisseurs who value authenticity, luminosity and the quiet elegance of natural beryl.
