An interesting Sri Lankan gem with something of an odd color behavior. Cool daylight gives you a light and bright minty shade that could nearly be mistaken for the Vanadium bearing stones. In warm lighting there is a very slight perceptible shift to a more yellow modified green. Not what we would label as a Vanadium stone, Still no one is going to mistake this gem for a common Chrysoberyl color, it is much too green for that. Perhaps a stone with a bit less of that desired chromophore. Clean and nicely cut as well.
