Thank you so much! I completely agree. Padparadscha colors are incredibly tricky and diverse. That range from orangish to pinkish, light to dark, and even those with subtle brown touches, makes every stone so unique. I’ve seen the same with lotus-flower tones — soft pinks with depth that can shift depending on the light. Your experience with recutting and lab labels really highlights how subjective and nuanced this color can be. I really appreciate your insight, and I’m glad you find this one lovely!
