• Selected for colour, form and display appeal. Once sold, it will not be restocked.
• Photographed under neutral lighting to show accurate colour and clarity.

This natural heliodor crystal specimen from Padre Paraíso, Minas Gerais, Brazil has an unusually elegant, architectural form, with a tall central prism surrounded by stepped side crystallisation and multiple well-defined terminations. Its pale golden-yellow colour combines with strong transparency and gemmy sections that allow light to travel through much of the crystal.

Collected in 2006, this is a highly aesthetic example of natural golden beryl. The elongated crystal habit, clean terminations, vertical growth features and transparent windowed sections give the specimen considerably more visual presence than its 23 g weight might suggest. Natural contact, etching and growth features remain visible throughout, adding character without dominating the overall form.
