Padparadscha 2,22ct Pinkish Orange semi transparent / F8

Padparadscha is an extremely rare variety of sapphire, renowned for its unique combination of pink and orange tones reminiscent of the color of a lotus blossom. This exceptional coloration is caused by a specific ratio of trace elements, mainly chromium and iron. The most prized padparadschas originate from Sri Lanka, though they are also found in Madagascar and Tanzania. Stones are often gently heat treated to enhance their natural color, while untreated specimens rank among the rarest gemstones in the world.
