Pink Sapphire

Pure pink sapphire is coloured by really small quantities of chromium, with increasing levels of chromium it forms a continuing colour range with ruby. Tiny levels of iron may produce pink-orange stones called padparadscha, or iron and titanium impurities together could make a purplish stone. Pink sapphires in many cases are cut having a deep profile.Pink sapphires, from the very pale and delicate pink to some near-red, happens to Sri Lanka, Burma, and East Africa.
Like rubies pink sapphires are thought to defend against ill-health and misfortune. For that wearer to achieve the advantage of the stone, however, it's thought necessary it to be worn on your skin. Therefore stones are cut to ensure that, when occur a bit of jewellery, the rear makes connection with your skin.
