Hi Axel,

Thanks for the link. This would confirm what Pete said about it all being the same. 
Golden beryl and heliodor are treated here as synonyms. I am very inclined to 
agree. And this comes also closer to the color we find here in the Evje-Iveland 
area.

Though I can understand what you say about being careful with the adjectives. I can 
guarantee that this beryl really deserves the adjective!

When they found one huge crystal sometime in the 70/80's (don't know exactly when) 
material was sold to cutters for thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars! 

We had an exposition of minerals from Evje-Iveland at the Hamburg show in 2005 and 
many gemstone colelctors were very interested in this golden beryl/heliodor. We got 
a few offers too!

I should get out a picture on our website asap then anybody can judge for 
themselves.

I feel certain now that I don't need to change any labels, nor does my collegue in 
Iveland. 

Thanks for helping!
