Comments: "This is a classic stone the demonstrates why heating can be such a bad idea. This was not heat-treated and retains the physical properties it naturally developed.

Very very Fine layers of colored red and blue pigments cause flash while coloring the stone. in various lights it will appear red, or blue, or purple but it is not a classic color change of light frequencies.
