Padparadscha Sapphire

This is a stone with a unique color. It has a pink-orange color.

 

It got its name from its color. Padparadscha in Sanskrit means "sunrise". It is also called "Lotus color".

In the sun, some of the stones get a reddish shimmer. In India they say: &"The stone that, when touched by a lotus flower, makes it bloom, is perfection itself, unattainable even for the gods."&br /> ⠀
Real Padparadscha is very rare. Pink or orange sapphires are often mistaken for this stone.

 

This is a very expensive stone and true connoisseurs are ready to pay generously for it.
If you see a low price, you can be sure that you are looking at a fake.
