In brighter natural light, some of the warmer tones may become more visible, while softer lighting brings out the deeper blue-grey areas. These differences are part of how the stone appears under varying light, not changes to its underlying pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe setting is deliberately understated.
