Precision faceted step oval Sapphire from Songea, Tanzania. This stone shows an exceptional vivid orange color, a tone for which the Songea region has become renowned. Songea sapphires are known for their unusual color palette, often displaying rich oranges, pinks, and padparadscha-like blends that are rarely seen in corundum from other sources. Deposits in this part of southern Tanzania are alluvial, and production has been limited, making fine gems like this increasingly uncommon in today’s market.
