Regarding Padparadscha sapphires (definition from Gübelin Switzerland): As with the blue variety, Padparadscha sapphire is composed of an aluminum oxide called corundum. Its unique orange and pink coloring is due to traces of iron and chromium in the mineral, which makes this gemstone extremely rare. For this reason, Padparadscha sapphires regularly achieve sales prices that far exceed the price range of “normal” colored sapphires. In the past, many yellowish-orange and reddish-orange sapphires were classified as padparadscha sapphires. Today, many renowned gemological laboratories, including the Gübelin Gem Lab, agree that only stones that fall within a narrow and well-defined spectrum of pink-orange to orange-pink colors with low to medium saturation still have the right to have these to bear a noble title. In addition to the color and saturation requirements, a Padparadscha sapphire must have an even color distribution and must not have been treated in any way beyond conventional heating.
