About this stone

Padparadscha is the most argued-over colour name in the trade, and most stones offered under it are simply orange sapphires. This one carries the call from SSEF, which is about as far as the question can be settled.

The hue sits close to the middle of the pink-orange range with a light-to-medium tone. Heated without residue — the ordinary and expected treatment for the material, and disclosed on the report.

ANY BANK CARD
The stone’s 7.9 × 6.2mm outline, drawn to the same scale as a bank card. Hold one against the screen and the stone beside it is life size — if the card does not match, zoom until it does. The outline is the idealised shape rather than this stone’s own profile; the photographs are the stone.

Evidence provenance

This is an educational record. Its values demonstrate the format and do not represent an owned stone or publication-approved evidence file. It cannot be purchased or exported as a product.

Shipping, inspection and care

No carrier promise is inferred from this page. At checkout the live service must find a recently verified route that accepts loose gemstones, the destination and the full declared value.

You have seven days from delivery to request a change-of-mind return, in addition to rights under Australian Consumer Law. Read the inspection and return process.

Keep the stone loose, dry and separated from harder material. Do not use heat, chemicals, ultrasonic cleaning or steam without advice specific to the species, treatment and condition. Rough and specimens should not be altered during the inspection period.
