Single gem Heliodor crystal from Brazil. This is nearly all transparent, facet quality Heliodor with top saturated pure yellow color. Well terminated and complete all around. There is a small area of contact/growth interuption (not damage) along one termination edge, otherwise it's perfect. Ex. Steve Smale collection with his old label. Weighs 62.4 carats (Note that this crystal has significant gem rough value. A hypothetical 35% yield would give 21 carats in gems, and with top color Heliodor selling for $150-$200/carat, a hypothetical $3,150-$4,200 value).
