Heliodor is a name used by mineralogists and gemologists for specimens of the mineral beryl with a yellow, greenish-yellow, or golden-yellow color. Pure beryl is colorless, but impurities within the mineral cause beryl to occur in a variety of ... colors. The yellowish colors of heliodor are usually caused by small amounts of iron within the mineral's crystal structure. 2, record 1, English, - heliodor
