WHAT is the difference between a photomicrograph, as here, and a photograph of a light spectra

Would any small piece of this under higher magnification reveal more colors?
Thank you

So, this picture is not a "spectra". It is simply a "photograph taken with a microscope" of a thin section of the surface of an uncut diamond.
A sapphire photomicrograph has some similarly coherent patterns:

I cannot find a set of spectra for stones like diamonds.
