Padparadscha sapphire, like blue sapphire or ruby, is a variety of corondum and is a very rare gemstone. It comes in the beautiful and distinguished colour blend of pink and orange in the same stone. The name "padparadscha" is evolved from the sanskrit language name of the Lotus flower, which is "Padma.".
These sapphires were first found in mines in Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. Now even in Madagascar and Tanzania, these beautiful gems are found, but king remains in the lands of Sri Lanka.
It is one of the most rare, covated, and loved precious gemstones, with so limited supply that only very selected people can own it.
The presence of chromium and iron gives it this distinctive pink-orange hue similar to the Lotus flower.
The perfect balance of the two colours orange and pink is necessary for a sapphire to qualify for being a padparadscha sapphire. No overtone of any other colour like yellow or brown should be there.
Sunrise and Sunset Padparadscha Sapphires
Padparadscha sapphires are generally considered for their pastel shades or light shades because their colour represents the colour of lotus, which is soft and delicate orange pink.
Sunrise padparadscha sapphire commemorates the morning time colours where, after the night, the dwan comes. It has more of a pink colour tone, as delicate pinkish hues resembling the new dawn, where the sunlight gradually merges with its soft orangy rays. So they are pinkish orange in colour.
Sunset padparadscha sapphires have more of an orangy colour with fewer pink shades. It represents calm sunset time colours where the afternoon hot sun becomes calm and is ready to go away, leaving darkness of night behind the sea and forming pink colour shades in the sky seen at Sri Lankan seashores.
Ensure always that there is no 'yellow' or 'brown' colour or overtone present in the sapphire with its basic blend of pink and orange. The presence of a visible brown or yellow colour means the stone is not a padparadscha sapphire.
Some local labs give even sapphires with a yellowish tone, as padparadscha is wrong as they are not. Even on Ebay, Etsy, and many private websites, such sapphires are sold where easily brownish or grey colour is visible, and they say them as padparadscha sapphire, which is not true, so beware of them.
Stay away from Heat-treated padparadschas, as heating is sometimes used to create artificial padparadscha colour in sapphires that originally were not pink or orange sapphires. So be away from buying those created-colour padparadscha sapphires.
