Padparadscha is the rarest type of Sapphire. The word means “The color of the lotus”. Sapphire is a wonderful jewelry gemstone because it has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale making it less susceptible to damage than any other gem except diamond. And it comes in every color of the rainbow except red when it is considered ruby. We have a large collection of sapphire jewelry and loose sapphire gemstones available for purchase in our gallery or our online store.
