One of the
most valuable fancy sapphire is an orange-pink or pinkish-orange
variety called 'padparadscha' after the lotus blossom.
00000Much of the orange sapphire on the
market today is treated, often with beryllium to achieve a colour
similar to padparadscha, and because it treated is less expensive and
much more freely available
00000The
sapphire is associated with many magical powers, including the ability
to heal wounds, and as an antidote for poisons. It
is believed to amplify intuitive ability, and is useful as an aid to
meditation.
00000We
supply sapphires of all qualities and keep a wide stock of "fancy"
colours. |
