About Padparadscha Sapphire – The Lotus-Hued Gemstone

Padparadscha is a unique sapphire variety from the corundum mineral family. Unlike traditional blue sapphires, this gem displays a captivating blend of pink and orange shades, ranging from soft salmon to vibrant peach and delicate coral tones.

The color is caused by trace amounts of chromium and iron within the crystal structure, creating a mesmerizing balance between warm and cool hues. This exquisite color combination is unlike any other gemstone, making Padparadscha a symbol of rarity and exclusivity.

With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, Padparadscha Sapphire is extremely durable, suitable for everyday jewelry, and revered in astrological circles for its potent planetary energy.
