Item Description
The King of Sapphires: 9.04 Carat Unheated Padparadscha
Presenting an extraordinary specimen of the world’s rarest sapphire variety: the Padparadscha. This 9.04-carat natural treasure captures the legendary "Sunrise" hue—a delicate, breathtaking marriage of lotus-pink and sunset-orange.
At over 9 carats, this stone is not merely jewelry; it is a museum-scale investment asset. While most Padparadschas are found in sizes under 2 carats, a 9ct+ unheated specimen from Sri Lanka represents the pinnacle of gemstone collecting.
