This transparent 1.66 carat oval shape yellow heliodor is presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, it measures 9.02 x 7.21 x 4.44 mm, it is faceted in a mixed brilliant cut that combines a brilliant style crown with a step influenced pavilion to enhance brilliance and light return, the clarity grade is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the color is classified as light intensity, the polish is excellent, there has been no enhancement, and the origin of this specimen is Pakistan. The gem displays a clean, subtle yellow tone that reads warmer under incandescent light and crisper in daylight, the mixed brilliant facet arrangement gives balanced scintillation while preserving a broad table face suitable for detailed mounting, the absence of treatments underscores its natural provenance and ensures that variations in tone and saturation are intrinsic to the material rather than the result of post mining modification.
This heliodor is part of the beryl family, a group of gems with a documented heritage stretching across multiple cultures, for centuries yellow beryls were valued as symbols of sunlight and vitality, the name heliodor derives from the Greek words for sun and gift, historically similar stones were carried as talismans or set into personal ornaments to convey warmth and optimism, in several traditional lapidary practices yellow beryls were used in signet rings and amulets where durability and clarity were prized for both daily wear and ceremonial pieces. For contemporary use this stone is well suited to rings, pendants, and bespoke settings where its measured size and clean window will allow skilled cutters and setters to create pieces that honor both the gemological qualities and the cultural lineage, The Natural Gemstone Company documents origin and treatment status to assist designers and clients in making informed selections, this heliodor offers a restrained, enduring aesthetic that connects modern jewellery with longstanding traditions of craftsmanship and meaning.
