If the understanding of sapphire is not too deep, many people will think that sapphire may be just a blue stone. So after seeing the name of “colored sapphire”, you will certainly wonder, how can sapphire be colored?
However, I believes that most gem lovers know that sapphire is a general term for corundum gems in addition to red rubies, and it should be colorful. It is also these gorgeous colors that make colored sapphires often “bump faces” in the gem industry, especially in the case of the same color and the same cut, and other gems are almost difficult to distinguish.
Next I first to talk to you about the main colors of colored sapphire.
The main colors of colored sapphire are pink orange, pink and purple, orange and yellow, green, etc., each category has its own color range, color origin, market, and in addition to Papalacha almost all have – “half-brother”.
Pastel orange
Among the colored sapphires, the most famous and valuable is the pink-orange sapphires produced in Sri Lanka – Papalacha, which means “lotus” in Sri Lanka, representing holiness and life. Both pink and orange exist in the color of this gem, and the two brilliant colors complement each other, which is very attractive. If any of these colors are missing, they cannot be called Papalacha.
Not only is Papalacha very rare, but Sri Lankans are particularly fond of it and reluctant to export it, making the amount of the already rare gem entering the international market even less, and the chance of the people to see it is almost zero. In recent years, a small amount of pink orange sapphire has been produced in Africa, but there is still debate about whether it can be called Papalacha internationally.
pink
Pink sapphire is one of the fastest rising gemstone varieties in recent years, and consumers in Japan and the United States have shown great enthusiasm for it. The color of pink sapphire is lighter than ruby, and the color saturation is not very high, showing a delicate bright pink, but not very rich.
In the color sapphire family, its price is second only to Papalacha, the quality of the price per carat tens of thousands, but if the color with obvious brown, gray, the value will be greatly discounted.
