Original Necklace - 14K w/ Beryl & Iolite
.75" W x .625" H x .375" D
BERYL: Heliodor is a golden yellow stone that was first discovered at Rossing, Erongo, Western Namibia in 1910. Heliodor is a form of BERYL, and is actually the most brilliant form of all the beryls. Because of the stone’s unusually vibrant yellow color, it was given the name heliodor, from the Greek words helios and doron, meaning, gift from the sun.
IOLITE: Iolite is a magnesium aluminium silicate and appears as grey, pale to dark blue, violet and colourless crystals. Iolite exhibits dichroism (an ability to change colour when viewed from different angles). It can show as three different colour shades in the same stone.
The major sources of the gemstone come from Sri Lanka, India, Madagascar and Myanmar.
In ancient times this stone was called Vikings Compass as they used it for navigational purposes, as it was able to indicate the direction of the sun on overcast days.
