Padparadscha Sapphire & Pink Sapphire Difference
Both colour vary depending on the amount of chromium and iron present in the stone. However, the padparadscha to pink sapphire should not confuse you. Known for its unique blend of pink and orange hues, which is reminiscent of a sunset or a lotus flower. Whereas pink sapphire does not possess the additional orange hue. There is a distinct colour shade of pinkish-orange in padparadscha, unlike pink sapphire with violet-ish pink to vivid pink.
Value in Padparadscha Gemstone
Value and price of padparadscha sapphire, varies on the size and quality of the gemstone. Inclusions can be easily identified in a padparadscha with pastel colour tone. Cloudiness in a padparadscha will look dull in colour and loss in its brilliance. They are commonly heated due to the extremely scarcity from the mines of Sri Lanka, Madagascar and Tanzania.
While the feminine pink sapphire is certainly a unique and attractive shade for jewelry. The price of fine quality padparadscha sapphire commands a premium due to its rarity. In fact, the cost of unheated sunrise or sunset colour padparadscha can easily exceed twice that of pink sapphires.
Heat enhancement, improve the colour saturation and minimise inclusion in the gemstone. However, please note that we strongly condemn other unethical enhancements aimed at achieving a padparadscha-like color. For instance, treatments like diffusion using beryllium in pink sapphires are not considered as natural padparadscha.
They are totally different treatment in comparison to the common heat treatment. Therefore we recommend to request for a reputable professional gemologist certification when it comes to coloured gemstone especially padparadscha sapphire.
