5/28/2023 0 Comments Padparadscha tourmalineThe prices and value of padparadscha sapphire vary depending on the size and quality of the gemstone. Found originally in Sri Lanka, pads have become collectors' items which are bought up as quickly as they are found. Although the exact color description is debated, the beauty of these rare gemstones with their delicate blended pink and orange shades is universally esteemed. Prices of several thousand dollars per carat are not unusual. Natural padparadscha sapphires (sometimes called pads) sell at a premium, nearing the price for a fine blue sapphire. Perhaps this is partially because the lotus blossom itself can have a range of color shades. The exact color has always been a matter of debate: different dealers and different laboratories around the world disagree on the exact color described by this term. The rarest and most valuable fancy color sapphires are the exquisite orangy-pink or pinkish-orange gems referred to as "Padparadscha" after the Sinhalese word for lotus blossom.
