This looks like a misleading demonstration intended to market something. They appear nearly identical in normal conditions
minus-squareMentalEdge@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·18 hours agoThat’s what I was immediately thinking. Getting pretty colors out of a clear crystal is more about how it was cut, than what it’s made of. Unless it’s something like opal that produces lightshows through completely different optical effects.
