- Padparadscha Sapphires - A padparadscha sapphire is the name given to a sapphire that is found in Sri Lanka. Colour can range from a salmon with a pinkish hue to an orange hue. In the Sinhalese language padparadscha is the name given to the color of a Lotus blossom. Sapphires with similar characteristics have been found in Vietnam, Tanzania and Madagascar, but there is dispute in the jewellery trade as to whether these stones should be called padparadscha. At times padparadscha sapphires are known to have been heat treated to intensify their pink coloration.
