As with other sapphires, this also comes from the corundum mineral family. This has a unique color combination of pink and orange in the same stone, which is pinkish orange or orangey pink. The color should be in a low to medium color tone. According to GRS lab grading standards, a padparadscha sapphire gemstone should be in medium-weak to medium-strong color saturations only and not in deep and strong color saturation; otherwise, they would fall in the category of orange or pink fancy sapphires. These gems can be from any origin; just the color tone has to match the above described standards.
Padparadscha sapphire demand and prices are rising substantially in past years due to its rarity and uniqueness. GRS has further divided them into 2 categories depending on the color, which is sunset and sunrise padparadscha sapphire.
These are the terms given by the GRS lab to these stones. Some times the labs were not agreeing with the gem dealers and customers or other labs for whether the sapphire stone is padparadscha sapphire or a fancy color sapphire, so GRS bought in clarity with certifications of color, especially for those stones where the secondary color is less clearly visible. Even SSEF adopts the same grading standards as GRS, but GIA sometimes disagrees.
In those stones with a medium to weak color saturation, which have a more dominant color as pink ? and the modifying color is orange, they are called Sunrise padparadscha sapphires, but sometimes the GIA may term it as a pink sapphire as they do not count the underlying tone, though it may be affecting the previous dominant color significantly. But if the color saturation is deep, then it is not a padparadscha but a fancy sapphire.
The sapphire where the dominating color is orange ? which is modified by pink color's proper saturation within this color or as scattered saturation in zones is a sunset padparadscha sapphire. These also, as sunrises, should be in medium-deep, medium and light color saturations only.
Padparadscha Sapphires are among the rarest and most distinctive varieties of sapphire, prized for their delicate pinkish-orange to orange-pink color. Sri Lanka, historically known as Ceylon, is the most important traditional source of fine natural Padparadscha Sapphires, while Madagascar has also emerged as a notable source. The name Padparadscha is derived from a Sinhalese word associated with the color of a lotus blossom.
The price of a Padparadscha Sapphire stone depends on color, clarity, cut, carat weight, origin, and treatment status. Fine natural, untreated Padparadscha Sapphires with an attractive balance of pink and orange can command exceptionally high prices per carat. In these gems the one which displays slightly more of the pink color is more desired and has higher value than which have higher amount of orange visible.
Sri Lankan origin, proper color saturation, good clarity, larger size, and independent laboratory certification can significantly enhance value. Because the term “Padparadscha” has specific gemological and geological criteria, certification can also be important when it mentions the origin.
