Thank you very much for your comment. These are unedited photos taken using my Redmi note 5pro phone. Colours are natural. That mercury discharge tube contains small amount of neon gas. When we applies strong magnetic field (15000 Gauss) on discharge tube it produce vibrant colours as shown in the pics.

Thanks for sharing @Shafiinlight, this looks so cool, almost unreal. 

It looks like something straight out of movie.

@MortenSI Thank you very much for your comment. It is a mercury discharge tube contains very small amount of neon gas. Without magnetic field this tube shines as pale blue colour. With the help of a powerful magnet we can see the neon red emission.

Very interesting @Shafiinlight. It is probably not something you just go ahead and create in your kitchen at home. It looks like it is done in a lab, is it at your workplace?

It looks very cool @Shafiinlight. Do you make a lot of these colourful experiments, or was this a rare occasion?

It is a spectroscopy experiment setup named Zeeman effect.  Spectroscopy experiments are always colourful.
