A colour-change sapphire displays different colours under different lighting conditions due to how its crystal structure absorbs light. The effect occurs because the gemstone contains trace elements—usually chromium and vanadium—that cause it to absorb different wavelengths of light depending on the light source.

In daylight or fluorescent light (which is rich in blue wavelengths), the stone typically appears greenish. Under incandescent or candlelight (which is richer in red wavelengths), it shifts to a purple or violet hue.

This optical phenomenon—known as pleochroism combined with lighting-dependent spectral absorption—makes colour-change sapphires highly unique and prized among collectors.
