![]() A finest quality Padparadscha sapphire can fetch up to $30,000 per carat even for a one carat sapphire. Padparadscha is the rarest of all sapphires. ![]() ![]() Some magnificent padparadscha sapphires are mined in Sri Lanka, Madagascar and Tanzania. However, major gem labs recognise the colour rather than the origin, which at Deliqa Gems we agree with. Although in recent years similar coloured sapphires have been found elsewhere in the world, many experts in the industry maintain the view that only those found in Sri Lanka should be called Padparadscha and those found elsewhere in the world should rather be called Pinkish Orange or Orangish Pink than giving the romantic term Padparadscha. Padparadscha sapphires were first found in Sri Lanka hundreds of years ago.
