Sapphire does not just occur in shades of blue. Sapphire can be found in an incredible range of colours including daffodil yellows and teal greens to hot pinks and deep purples. In fact nearly every colour in the rainbow can be found in a sapphire. The many colourful varieties of sapphire are referred to as "FANCY COLOURED SAPPHIRES." The word "sapphire"by itself is reserved for blue sapphire, and fancy coloured stones by their colour, e.g. Pink Sapphire, Green Sapphire. Some sapphire colours are so unique, they are know by a descriptive term, e.g. Pararadscha Sapphire, peach/pink tone names for the colour of a lotus flower, or Parti-Coloured sapphire, a two-or-more coloured stone, generally from Australia. Some sapphire can change colour depending on the light under which it is viewed.
Arguably the most popular fancy colour for sapphire is pink, with hues ranging from very pale baby pinks to vivid, almost magenta, intense pinks. Most of this material comes from Sri Lanka and Madagascar.
Yellow Sapphire can encompass colours from pale to bright sunshine yellow, increasing in saturation to orange and burnt orange. Australian, Sri Lanka and Madagascar are among the largest suppliers.
Green Sapphire is coloured by iron, and the colour tends to be light yellowish green to bottle green rather than emerald green. Australia produces some of the most finest green sapphire in the world.
Purple Sapphire will occur in violet and purple tones in varying levels of saturation, and you can also find sapphire in cognac and colourless.
