CONT

Les saphirs padparadscha ont une couleur rose-orange très appréciée, qui est plus facile à trouver dans d'autres pierres précieuses, telles que la tourmaline, que dans le saphir.

OBS

saphir padparadscha : Au pluriel, «padparadscha» ne s'accorde pas puisqu'il est dérivé du terme cinghalais pour «fleur de lotus».
