                       GREEN SAPPHIRE

The spectrum already described under yellow sapphire belongs in its full strength to green sapphire. Here the two strongest iron bands practically coalesce, but the third band (47I0 A) is sufficiently detached to reveal that the band is a complex one, and not a single block, as in chrysoberyl.

  GREEN CHRYSOBERYL

Green chrysoberyl gives merely a stronger version of the broad absorption band in the blue-violet already described under yellow chrysoberyl. This is centered at 4440 A. Weaker bands may be seen at 5050 and 

4850 A. The 4440 bands may often be seen in cat's eyes forming a useful means of confirming that they are not the less highly valued quartz cat's eyes.
