IF YOU WIN ONE OF THESE STONES WHEN YOU OPEN IT DO NOT OPEN IT IN A CLOSED ROOM WHERE THE ONLY LIGHT IS A FLOUESCENT LIKE DIFFUSED LIGHT. THESE STONES NEED NATURAL DIRECT DAYLIGHT OR SPOT LIGHT TO REVEAL THE BEST AND SHARPEST STAR AND ONLY IN UNDIFFUSED LIGHTING IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED AS NATURAL STAR SAPPHIRE NEEDS UNDIFFUSED DIRECT LIGHT SO TAKE IT OUTSIDE TO JUDGE ITS QUALITY.
