{"product_id":"3-09-ct-emerald-cut-orange-sapphire-gia-report","title":"3.09 ct Natural Heated Orange Sapphire – Emerald Cut | GIA Certified","description":"\u003cp\u003eA natural 3.09 ct Emerald-Cut Orange Sapphire, heat treated, accompanied by GIA Sapphire Origin Report #2235980212, which confirms species, weight, dimensions and treatment status, and states a Sri Lanka (Ceylon) geographic origin — GIA gives origin as an expert opinion based on a collection of observations and analytical data. Orange is among the less commonly produced sapphire colors: the market for natural corundum is dominated by blue, yellow, and pink. The emerald cut at 3.09 carats is an unusual format for orange material — step facets create interior depth in the color rather than scattering it across a brilliant surface, producing a richer, more architectural presentation than an oval or cushion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 2px solid #5b2c6f; border-radius: 10px; padding: 20px 24px; margin: 28px 0; background-color: #f9f5fc;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 12px; color: #4a235a;\"\u003eExpert Opinion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-fr\/pages\/ahmed-shareek-about-the-owner\" style=\"color: #4a235a; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAhmed Shareek\u003c\/a\u003e's Assessment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e\"Orange is one of the less common colors natural corundum produces, and finding an intense yellowish orange at 3.09 carats in a clean emerald cut, with a GIA report covering treatment and origin, is a genuinely uncommon combination — this cut hides nothing, so only clean, well-saturated material like this can carry it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRarity Analysis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOrange sits at the far warm end of the sapphire color range and is one of the less commonly produced natural sapphire colors.
