What is a Ceylon Padparadscha sapphire and is it rare.

Because true Padparadscha stones are so incredibly rare, they are vastly more expensive than standard blue sapphires. If a street jeweler is offering you one for a cheap price, it is 100 percent a fake or a synthetically treated stone.

Never buy a stone claiming to be a Padparadscha without a formal, certified document from the National Gem and Jewellery Authority explicitly confirming its completely natural, untreated color profile.
