Pure pink sapphire is coloured by very small quantities of chromium, and with increasing amounts of chromium it forms a continuous colour range with ruby. Tiny amounts of iron may produce pink-orange stones called padparadscha, or iron and titanium impurities together may make a purplish stone. Pink sapphires are often cut with a deep profile.
Pink sapphires are believed toward off ill-health and misfortune. for the wearer to gain the benefit of the stone, however, it is thought necessary for it it be worn directly on the skin.
