Pink Sapphire

Wisdom | Loyalty | Nobility

Pink Sapphire, a captivating variety of corundum (Al₂O₃), owes its delicate blush hues to trace amounts of chromium (Cr)—the same element that gives rubies their fiery red. Unlike its blue counterparts, which derive color from iron and titanium, pink sapphire’s soft rose tones range from pastel pink to vibrant raspberry, with the finest specimens displaying a pure, luminous saturation free of secondary brown or gray undertones13.

The gem’s allure lies in its versatile color spectrum: lighter shades evoke cherry blossoms or morning mist, while deeper tones mirror ripe rose petals. Rare "Padparadscha" sapphires—a coveted blend of pink and orange—exhibit a sunset-like glow, though true untreated examples are exceptionally scarce
