The main photo reflects the steel blue color of this stone. The largest photo shows a beautiful blue, but only in the right conditions.

So if you ask “Which photo shows its true color” I will answer “All of them.” However, the standard is to examine the stone under daylight conditions facing north with a pure white background, which is what we do when we color grade them.
