The stone has a reverse color change thing going on. In daylight, it's pink/purple with peach/ orange ... I just so happened to be photographing it for market when I reached my hand under my bearded dragon's UVB light and it became green/ yellow. I'm perplexed. Pictures will show the color change from natural daylight to florescent uvb . The light is a reptisun t-5 24 watt 10% uvb from Germany. I achieved a near yellow color as well when I used 300 lumen LED. The pictures posted reversed so note that the stone is green under uvb and reverts to its purplish color in daylight.
