Heliodor is a yellow variety of beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈), belonging to the cyclosilicate mineral class and crystallizing in the hexagonal crystal system. It typically forms elongated prismatic crystals with flat or slightly modified terminations.
The yellow color of heliodor is caused by trace amounts of iron within the beryl crystal lattice. Heliodor is valued both as a gemstone rough and as a collectible mineral specimen.
