wow, very beautiful eyes nephra.
you should be proud of those. i've never seen your coloring before. my best friend had (rest in peace) one blue and one green eye. i always thought it was from doing too much snorting-drugs that changed his eye colors. (like david bowie)

nice trait to have. great coloring!

It does seem hereditary however no one in my family before me had them, however my twin sons have them in different shades now. their eye color has changed many times and seems to still be changing even though they are 8 years old now. This seems to be a newer trend in biology.. most biologists and optomitrists that I have spoken too say that it is rare and some have never seen them before.

You wouldn't be prone to psychic gifts or paranormal things would you?

Thinking back, it seems like the ladies on my mom's side of the family whose eyes I've seen all have the ocular kaleidoscope going on. My mom has the same color eyes as her mom (like mine but more brown), my mom's sister has the same color eyes as my sister...sounds fairly hereditary in my clan, I guess, just different variations on colors. All of us have the yellow streaks around our pupils.

I don't know about the psychic stuff, really. My grandma and my mom say they "know" there are ghosts in their respective houses but I've never seen 'em. About the closest thing I can think of to psychic/paranormal in my case is that I can tell when certain people I'm close to, I can tell when they're thinking about me or if they need me. Dunno how to explain it. For example, I'll get a certain gut feeling about one of the people in my close circle and call them, and every time they'll say something like "I was JUST thinking about you!" or they'll say they were just picking up the phone to call me because something was wrong. I figure that's just knowing my friends (and my mom!) real well.

Wow, when I saw your eye color, I thought someone else with my eye color! I have the same color pattern, and when I cry my eyes turn really bright green. I used to have darker brown eyes as a kid, brown/hazel. Here is a picture of my eyes, excuse the messy eyebrows (overdue for a pluck). Also wanted to add, I am not psychic but have had psychic type occurrences in my life.




It is strange how the inner part is browner, and then the outline seems grey! My youngest inherited my eyes, it is the only thing he got from me(carbon copy of his dad otherwise!) Not to toot my own horn, but I have always thought my eyes were one of nicer features.

I have blue eyes with what looks like rusty flecks in the area of blue and a darker blue ring around the edge.
Is this what you are on about?

I'm not all that comfortable posting this but I fall into this category so in the interest of science:

I have relatives with light and dark blues but not as contrasted.. their eye colours are more blended.

Great subject btw.

Can't post a pic, but yes, my eyes are different colours and they also change colour which freaks people out a bit.

When I say change colour, the predominant colour can be blue, green or grey.

One person even reported them as hazel

It gets kind of annoying when people start staring, but I suppose they are doing it for the right reasons
