Heliodore
Yellow beryl, golden beryl or gold beryl
Heliodore, also known as yellow, golden or gold beryl, brings warmth to the whole body. This enthusiastic and positive stone creates the link in lithotherapy between the heart and solar plexus chakras; its beautiful radiance teaches us to love, trust and radiate.
What are the lithotherapy virtues of yellow or gold beryl?
Helios, in Greek, means "sun"; in its image, Heliodore is a luminous and warm stone.
It brings life and energy, which translates into support for overcoming fears of accomplishing what needs to be done. It gives confidence, motivating us to move forward creatively, taking the reins with respect for others. This new courage is also a form of generosity: by overcoming our own doubts, our spirit rediscovers joy and optimism, which we in turn pass on to those we support.
What physical effects can we expect from Heliodorus?
Like all beryls, this stone promotes balance. More precisely, Golden Beryl is a stone of knowledge. By activating the third eye, the seat of intuition, it is perfect for memory and understanding, which can translate into expanded vision or fertile creativity. Concentration, expression and listening are transformed. Heliodore is sometimes sought after by learners, students, scholars and researchers. Another beryl that stimulates learning and communication is Emerald or Green Beryl.
Another of its virtues is its power to relieve headaches; by warming both body and mind, it is also an ally against exhaustion, anxiety and digestive disorders.
Its light is the symbol of a spirit that resists and grows.
