Pleochroism is a trait that that some minerals have that makes them appear to be different colors when viewed from different angles.
Minerals that display this property have specific crystalline structures that polarize light as it passes through it. This polarization depends on the angle at which light hits it, resulting in different colors, depending on how it's viewed.
Some minerals are dichroic, meaning they have two distinct colors. But others are trichroic, and show 3 distinct colors depending on how it's viewed.
