My late grandma gave me this ring from her safe some years ago and due to her recent passing I started wondering what it could be. Due to summer holidays sending it off to a gemologist lab will take weeks and I will be departing for a month long trip soon. So I'd rather send it off when I'm back in August, but would highly appreciate any input what it could be in the meantime.
Since a jeweller (who needs to send it to the lab) said she can't say based on the colour alone I guess it's not easy from only pictures. But I took several in different light conditions. Maybe someone came across something similar... some first guesses are amethyst (although it leans more on the pinkish than purple side). My uneducated guess from googling is bi-colour colour changing sapphire, but what do I know.
Indirect daylight
Candlelight
Direct sunlight
Monitor light (maybe the UV rays in the monitor create this slight glow?)
Indirect daylight
UV light from a gel polish curing lamp
