Introduction to the Meaning and Uses of Golden Beryl and Helidor

A crystal of golden light, Heliodor radiates the warmth and power of sunshine, the illumination of higher thought, and a centered, more vibrant physical well-being. Its name literally translates from the Greek as a gift of the sun.

Heliodor invokes the celestial Golden Ray of knowledge and learning, to stimulate the higher mind and enable the brain to function more efficiently. It is a stone of true nobility and selfless leadership, and allows one to make decisions based on wisdom instead of emotion or reaction. [Ahsian, 188]

Yang in nature, Heliodor helps one develop aspects of the male virtues – assertiveness, self-confidence, physical and mental strength, benevolence and power. These traits serve both men and women. [Simmons, 188]

Heliodor is the yellow variety of the Beryl family, generally referring to the greenish-yellow crystal, but includes all yellow, yellow-green, light green and brown Beryl.

Golden Beryl is a variety of Heliodor with a bright, pure yellow to golden yellow color. For the purpose of this article, we will refer to both as Heliodor except where the metaphysical properties may vary.

 

Heliodor & Golden Beryl Uses and Purposes – Overview

Heliodor is a hope stone, alleviating irritability and nervousness, and providing relief from heavy burdens and immense pressure. It brings stability and optimism. [Gienger, 45-46]

Heliodor has been used as a talisman to bring out honesty in others, and to regain what has been lost in terms of employment, prospects or money. It is an excellent crystal for the self-employed, or for those who struggle to balance care-giving and career. [Eason, 92]

In the workplace, Heliodor boosts drive and determination to succeed if others have worn away your enthusiasm. Carry or wear Heliodor to persuade others to back you financially or with resources. [Eason, 92]

Keep Heliodor in your home, or wear it as a gem, to increase your happiness and buoyant energy, especially in winter or if your home is dark with little natural light. It also helps you acclimate if you move to a colder part of the world, and a small piece of Heliodor allows tropical animals, fish and birds to live happier in a cold environment. [Eason, 92]

Golden Beryl increases the capacity to recall new information, and is a good study stone, especially for reluctant students. [Eason, 103]

Golden Beryl guards against psychological and emotional manipulation of others, unfriendly ghosts, and dark energies of any sort. Keep a dish of tumbled stones where the sun will shine on them to avert spookiness and to attract angelic energies. Golden Beryl is also a great naming-day or christening gift for a child as a good-fairy gem. [Eason, 103]

Heliodor & Golden Beryl Physical Healing Energy

Heliodor strengthens the immune system. [Gienger, 46] Its white/golden light may be projected onto objects contaminated by others during cold and flu season to purify them. [Melody, 315]

Heliodor is useful in the treatment of disorders of the liver, spleen, and pancreas. [Melody, 315][Gienger, 45] It is believed to aid problems with the digestive system and small intestine, bilious attacks, nausea, jaundice, diarrhea and chronic constipation. [Eason, 92, 103]

Heliodor may benefit the heart, help in the healing of concussion or skull damage, and aid in Seasonal Affective Disorder and exhaustion. It is also known for warming stiff limbs or cold fingers and toes caused by cold weather or poor circulation. [Eason, 92, 103]

Heliodor fortifies the eyes and helps with short- and long-sightedness. [Gienger, 45-46]

Heliodor & Golden Beryl Emotional Healing Energy

Heliodor promotes balance between the intuitive and conscious levels of oneself, helping to eliminate the duality within one’s character. It brings about a sympathetic and compassionate understanding when confronting delicate issues. [Melody, 315]

Heliodor encourages a sense of hope, possibility and vitality to the emotional body. It is empowering and optimistic, and assists in learning whatever is necessary to promote change in one’s reality, helping to accomplish one’s dreams and goals. [Ahsian, 189] It is the ultimate confidence and well-being crystal, often called the sunshine stone. [Eason, 103]

Heliodor is a support stone for survivors of abuse of all kinds. It assists in taking back one’s power, and lends confidence and a sense of self-trust. It helps those who avoid making decisions out of fear of doing the “wrong” thing, and increases mental fortitude in moving forward. [Ahsian, 188-189]

 

Heliodor & Golden Beryl Chakra Healing and Balancing Energy

Heliodor focuses at the Solar Plexus Chakra, the center of gravity for the astral and etheric bodies, and the chakra that allows one to channel spiritual energies into physical realities. [Simmons, 188]

The Solar Plexus Chakra is the energy distribution center and the chakra of relationships. This chakra is located between the ribcage and navel, and controls the immune and digestive systems. When in balance physically, you have strength to fight infections, are free of allergic reactions, and are able to use the nutrients you ingest. When the solar plexus is out of balance spiritually, you feel fear – of the disappointment or displeasure of others or to subordinating your life and pleasures to the will of others. Spiritually, when the solar plexus is in balance you are free to interpret the world through your own thoughts and emotions and not live in fear of violating the dictums of others.

Heliodor may stimulate both the Crown and Solar Plexus Chakras, connecting wisdom with spirituality, and stimulating activity, adaptability, and vitality. [Melody 152] This connection to the crown allows for the personal identification with the Infinite, and provides peace and oneness with God. [Raphaell, 165]

Heliodor & Golden Beryl Spiritual Energy

Heliodor’s golden yellow energy connects the mind and the will, and aligns one’s personal will to Divine Will. It activates in us the traits we associate with the Christed One – spiritual love, awakened awareness, clairvoyance, the power of transmutation and ultimately the vibrational quantum leap called Ascension. It is the surrender of will that leads to the highest spiritual development, and helps eliminate confusion of purpose. It aids in one’s path of service and in understanding the lessons and benefits behind obstacles faced on the life path. [Simmons, 188][Ahsian, 189]

Golden Beryl may be used to provide insights into the rites of ceremonial magic. It promotes the will to succeed and follow through, even if one’s courage fails. The message of Golden Beryl is as long as one remains open to a solution, there is no obstacle in any circumstance that confidence and conviction cannot resolve. [Melody, 152]

Heliodor & Golden Beryl Color Energy

Yellow Heliodor brings the power to solidify new interests and new relationships, helping you to see things in a different light. It adds clarity, waking things up and adding zest, optimism, and meaning to your life and relationships. Light Yellow crystals ensure that new relationships get off to a good start by aiding in the establishment of good communication. They help you focus on the needs of the person or group you are getting to know. Dark Yellow Heliodor is an excellent aid when decisiveness, precision, or persuasiveness is needed. It is the “Salesman’s Stone” that bring success in efforts to sell ourselves, products, or services to others. Most importantly, it brings the power and energy of clarity that comes from true awareness, and the ability to verbalize your needs to yourself and others.

Gold Heliodor brings success, enthusiasm, happiness, and power. It is traditionally the color of kings, riches, and the sun. Gold touches a deep part of our minds, conjuring up images of mystical places and adventure. Light Gold crystals provide us with the simple pleasures of life–cheerfulness and contentment. Dark Gold Heliodor has a deeper, more pronounced sense of devotion and commitment, providing us with a mature enthusiasm and ability to share a lifelong commitment of care and love.

Yellow-green or Light Olive Heliodor combines the green rays of growth with the yellow rays of pure sunshine, a time of development, strength and maturity. It enhances our receptiveness to new meanings and ideas, and lights the path to wisdom and understanding. It is a talisman of the search for knowledge and enlightenment. Light Olive Heliodor provides the perseverance needed in our quest for understanding the natural universe, efforts that require deep concentration, determination, and endurance for mental challenges.
