Colored stones have become very popular over the past few years and of all the varieties available, Sapphires are definitely near the top of the list of highly sought after gems. Orange sapphires in particular have caught the attention of Gemstone traders and enthusiasts alike, especially those from Sri Lanka, and this is why we’ve included one such variety on our Very Important Gems list. 

 Orange Padparadscha sapphires from Sri Lanka definitely have a tendency to lean towards the color red, almost giving them the prestige of rubies. With bright warm hues that burst forth in the form of a brilliant reddish orange glow, Padparadscha sapphires always gain plenty of attention, no matter where they're taken. The Orange Padparadscha Sapphire truly is a precious stone worth investing in, not just because of its elegant beauty but also because of its increasing value.
