Papaya quartz is a stunning pinkish-orange stone. Its color blends the beauty of ruby and pink sapphire. Its magnificent color, also known as the padparadscha color after the coveted padparadscha sapphire, has earned papaya quartz the reputation of being an elegant and high-status stone. Papaya quartz's pinkish orange color can range from mostly pink to mostly orange. However, in order to be considered a padparadscha color it must display both orange and pink hues with a pastel tone. There is no standard preference for whether orange or pink should the dominant hue. Like padparadscha sapphire, papaya quartz symbolizes both royalty and class. This highly desired gemstone has undergone a unique coloring process. Very high quality naturally clear quartz crystals have been colored to achieve this rare pinkish orange hue. Papaya quartz is exclusive to us, and we are proud to offer this elegant and stylish gemstone at a fraction of the cost. Papaya quartz is fine transparent quartz that sparkles brilliantly as light passes through the stone uninterrupted.
