The name "heliodor" comes from the Greek Helios for "sun" and Doro for "gift," altogether making "gift of the sun." In fact, many ancients thought heliodors controlled the shift from day to night. Plus, ancient Romans tied the stone to the sun god, Helios.
In ancient astrology, heliodor was a gemstone of Jupiter, the planet of luck, prosperity, and opportunities. Therefore, many believed the stone could attract abundance.
The Bible recognized beryl as one of the twelve gemstones on the High Priest's Breastplate, as well as one of the ten foundation stones in Revelation. Moreover, priest Ezekiel described God's throne having wheels that looked like "gleaming beryl" in his book.
