Padaparadschah Sapphire

Locality: Umba, Africa (probably)

Note: This is a very rare stone, there are some Rutile needles in this stone that proves it is a natural unheated stone. Rutile needles melt when heated to tempatures that they use for Sapphires. The color of this stone is quite striking and very hard to find... This is the best African color Padaparadschah I have seen in a very long time...

Note: The term Padaparadschah is used to describe the color only of this stone, it is not a Ceylon mined stone which is where all true Padaparadschah gem stones are mined.


Below this line are stones that have been sold... I left them up just so people could look at the finished stones and designs... I hope you enjoy them.
