{"title":"Orange Sapphire Gemstones - Bold Colored Loose Stones","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrange sapphire is one of the boldest and rarest colours in the sapphire family - a vivid expression of natural corundum coloured by trace chromium and iron, ranging from warm coral and fiery tangerine through deep sunset orange. It carries the full Mohs 9 durability that makes sapphire ideal for engagement rings and statement jewellery, and offers a presence that almost no other gemstone matches.
