Seller is pretty sure it’s not dyed. Doesn’t seem like it but it is an unusual color... Thank you in advance! imgur.com/a/MwHXgzR

A better photo might help, but from what I can see I would say no, not dyed.

On another note, you seriously need to set up a Cloudinary account so you can post your photos right on the page. Most people don't like to (some people won't) have to click links to see photos or videos somewhere else. Especially when you just joined this forum, and we don't know you.
This is doubly important when you start posting photos of rocks for sale when you reach the 100 minimum post number in the next few days, which is obviously your intention. No one wants to click an unknown link.
Just sayin'.

I will look into it.

Your Imgur account provides several options for posting pic's, try taking advantage of one of those like the BBCode copy and transfer option. I've had an account there for a few years now. I prefer it over this sites Cloudinary option, but that works well also.
Note....:
A word to the wise..........passive aggressive sales pitches and back-door subject links have had little to no success here at RTH.........just a tip, so you don't get the feeling you're being ignored or otherwise neglected......!
Looking forward to observing what you plan to market here at RTH...........!

Thank you so much! I went ahead and set up Cloudinary since there is little tolerance for anything else I plan to be a member of this forum for a long time to come too so I figured better bite the bullet haha. I'm excited to share as well This hobby has never been about money to me but with the current state of the world I figured I need to liquidate some of my assets in my collection haha. Thank you for the welcome, very appreciated! <3

Great! I think you will like cloudinary.
As you have noticed people here are a little leery of people who jump in with the intentions of selling right off the bat. Get to know the members a while. You'll notice that most have been here a long time and are a bit protective over our little piece of the web and the people here.

Thank you for the welcome, very appreciated! <3 I wouldn't say that "there is little tolerance for anything else." It does not HAVE to be Cloudinary, as long as it displays on the RTH page. I use Flickr and the BBCode option. I usually post the medium size, and anyone who wants to click through and see the full size still can.

This doesn't look dyed to me either but hard to tell just from one picture.

A great picture And a not so great picture I'm not the one that posted that photo or commented on it... I agree the quality is low but as I mentioned in the original post it's not my piece. That means that I cannot take a better photo of it...

Thanks everyone for your input! Most votes say not dyed and the longer I look at it the more I think it is not because most of the time when a stone is dyed it has a uniform color or at least uniform shade and this one has very clear contrast between the white and blue and there is no evidence of the blue dye bleeding elsewhere. also woodman that is a breathtaking specimen! Thanks for sharing!

The photo I posted was linked directly from my website so it is larger than if I had used cloudinary, which I do like and use.
