Nah, that is definitely dyed. The colors and distribution are both very unnatural. The cut stone has already been exposed to a lot of water during cutting, so it is my guess that the easily-removed dye has already washed off, leaving the more deeply soaked in dye that would taje longer to soak out |

Definitely not natural but that would be a difficult dying process. |
