We at The Gemstone Gallery aim to represent our gemstones as accurately as possible. Our photos and videos have been lightly edited to enhance the quality of the image, not alter or enhance the clarity or colour of the stone. Gemstone photography is notoriously challenging due to differing light sources causing variations in the appearance of some colours. Variations in monitor and screen displays also impact how a gem’s colour is presented. Natural sunlight is our preferred lighting and the best light to view true colours. Please contact us before purchase if you require clarification about any stone.
