Orange sapphires, known for their vibrant and warm hues, are often called "padparadscha," a term derived from the Sinhalese word for lotus blossom. This rare and highly prized variety exhibits a unique pinkish-orange color, reminiscent of a tropical sunset. Padparadscha sapphires are predominantly found in Sri Lanka, with notable deposits also in Madagascar and Tanzania. Their rarity and distinctive color make them some of the most sought-after and valuable sapphires in the world.
