Natural Heliodors Overview
 Light yellow-green (Greek-present of the Sun). Discovered in 1910 as apprent new variety in Namibia, but beryls of the same color were previously known in Brazil and Madagascar. Since there is no clear distinction possible in the yellow and green-yellow tones in comparison to golden beryl, heliodors are generally rejected as an independent precious beryl variety and rather are counted among the weak-colored golden beryls.
