Heliodors from this classic location have become scarce and expensive. This Heliodor weighs a substantial 123 grams. There are multiple crystal faces resulting from prolonged etching while underground. It is fairly gemmy with a pleasant yellowish green color. It has a hefty size and the price is downright cheap at less than $8 per gram (average price for more transparent clean crystals is around $50 per gram nowadays). I got this from an old rockshop in the middle of nowhere, so I'm able to pass along the good pricing. Comes mounted on a 2" acrylic base.
