Examining Blue Gemstones.
Look at your gemstones in overhead lighting. Overhead lighting allows for the best viewing, and it will help you see the surface characteristics of the gem. A neutral-colored background will allow you to differentiate between the different shades and intensities of blue. By minimizing the visual “noise,” you can focus on the gemstone.

Even a slight change in these parameters might greatly affect the prices.
