![]() ![]() Yes they are real sapphires but they were originally a pale, unexciting, not very nice colour to begin with and then heated with Beryllium to give them the colour of a Padparadscha. Natural (either just heated or completely untreated) Padparadscha Sapphires are more difficult to find than other variations of sapphire and therefore command reasonably high prices.īE diffused "Padparadschas" should really be called "Padparadscha coloured sapphires". However, if BE treatment is disclosed and the buyer isn''t hung up on treatment, he/she is able to get a gorgeous stone for very little money. Most people are prefer with untreated with some accepting heat only. It is also priced extremely low because of that. This method of treatment totally changes the appearance and is considered invasive. Diffusing it with Beryllium or some other material gives it eye popping colour, thus making very unattractive stones saleable. Now comes the least attractive material that is too brown and gray to get anyone to purchase on its own merit. Because the stone has been helped a little, pricing will be less than untreated material of comparable quality. Sometimes, mother nature didn''t quite make it as pretty so humans heat it to drive off any unpleasant undertones, giving it a purer hue so something that isn''t as nice is still "salvagable" and can be sold for a decent sum of money.
