Beryl Heliodore Tumble

Very exciting to find a new crystal to stock and that was Heliodore tumbles in 2018. Part of the beryl family as is aquamarine it also has that shimmer that can be sometimes seen in the beryls. It could be called green aquamarine – but no one I have noticed, uses that name. A pink variation is morganite.

The crystal is you be very objective and helps in correct decision making based on factual judgement. It also improves the cogency of thought and also blesses with good communication abilities.

Shamarah's insights

This stone has proven to be good for those who are in "hyper" energies - too much energy to be able to do or listen to anything. For example : hyper-happy and hyper-active. When used for just 10 minutes (then put away) to release the excess energies so you setlle down and remain happy and able to action. This has been tested on those who have Earth bodies (Virgo - me) and Fire bodies (young Leo ADHD child)

• Category: Oxides
• Formula: SiO2 Silicon Dioxide
• Crystal System: Trigonal
• Habit: 6-sided prism ending in 6-sided pyramid (typical), drusy, fine-grained to microcrystalline, massive
