Chatham lab-grown padparadscha exhibits the classic lotus color that makes this rare gem so highly prized. Through a process of 12 months, Chatham successfully grows padparadscha crystals in a laboratory. The end result is a rough crystal this is identical chemically, physically, and optically to its mined counterpart.
The delicate, salmon-colored hue is highly sought after and distinguishes padparadscha sapphires from other fancy sapphires. This distinction makes Chatham lab-grown padparadscha the ideal gem for those who are self-expressive and one-of-a-kind!
