Can the design of a stone affect the colour as a camera sees it?

[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 428536, member: 2976"] Interesting snippet of info.... [url]https://www.techradar.com/au/how-to/photography-video-capture/cameras/white-balance-explained-how-cameras-correct-the-color-of-different-types-of-light-1320993[/url] So the brain makes sense of things by making adjustments to how we perceive colours in different types of light, trying to keep what we see consistent - whereas a camera just tends to capture and show the raw image? Makes sense actually. I guess the colour shift created by different types/wavelengths of light moving through different kinds of transparent material has to be fairly extreme before the brain gives up trying to compensate, such as in materials like the form of chrysoberyl known as Alexandrite, bright red under one type of light and bright green under another. Just like a piece of man-made material I faceted a while ago that showed the same total colour change depending on the type of light - in this case, the camera saw it exactly as the eye sees it.
