Just thought I’d share this neat example of pleochroism. It’s a sapphire crystal from Madagascar which I just recently noticed is considerably greener when viewed edge-on. This isn’t unusual with corundum (and quite a few other gemstones for that matter), but the color difference here seemed striking enough to make a little post about it.

Just posted some new peridot (forsterite) crystal listings to Etsy. Follow the link in my bio if interested :)
