What Makes It Special
• Size and rarity — Natural unheated Chameleon Orangey Yellow Sapphires above 7 carats are genuinely rare
• Chameleon Effect — This natural stone changes to an intense yellow in its fully charged state and turns a pinkish orange (almost padparascha like) in its fully discharged state.
• Unheated origin — The colour is entirely natural, making it significantly more valuable and sought-after than heated equivalents
• Ceylon provenance — Sri Lanka’s Highland Complex produces yellow sapphires of a warmth and clarity recognised worldwide as benchmark quality
• Dual appeal — Equally suited to fine jewellery and Jyotish use as a Pukhraj, broadening its collector and buyer base
• Investment character — Large unheated natural sapphires of known origin hold and appreciate in value over time
