The Volyn Deposit in Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine, formed over 2 billion years ago in rare chamber pegmatites that allowed exceptionally large and high-quality crystals to grow deep underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHistorically, the area was mined for industrial piezoelectric quartz beginning in 1931, but gem-quality minerals such as heliodor and topaz only became known to the wider collector market in the late 20th century, with heliodor gaining prominence in the 1980s as fine crystals reached shows in Europe and the U.S.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCollectors prize Volyn heliodors for their rich yellow to green-yellow hues, exceptional clarity, and often dramatic natural etching and growth features that reflect their slow formation history. These specimens combine strong gem-like aesthetics with classic mineralogical character, making them standout pieces in both fine mineral and gem collections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little Lemuria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51304935031000,"sku":"115TZ542","price":212.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/6826\/0669\/files\/TZ542.png?v=1769807056","url":"https:\/\/littlelemuria.com\/products\/13-25-carat-beryl-var-heliodor-from-volyn-deposit-115tz542","provider":"Little Lemuria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
