Buyer intelligence

For blue sapphire, velvety blue to violetish blue with strong-to-vivid saturation is prized. Heat status, diffusion, origin and special varieties such as padparadscha can materially change market value.

Care

Generally durable, but treatment type and fracture condition determine whether aggressive cleaning is appropriate.

BARADAK uses summarized gemological information and links to technical sources; commercial ranges do not replace a laboratory report or formal appraisal.
