Orange gemstones

Sapphire orange

Orange sapphires are well known for their vibrant color and are widely used to create jewelry called fiery. This orange hue is due to the rare trace elements present in their chemical composition, which in turn give them superior quality and brilliance.  At Albert Hern you can find orange jewels with sapphires such as: 

Citrine orange

This stone is very popular for its accessible prices and for its golden and bright tones that remind us of the sun, so it has been associated to radiant energy and life. Formerly, it was believed that its color came from the sun, due to some energetic relationship. Today it is known that the orange tone is due to traces of iron that have been incorporated into its crystal structure, although this has not diminished its popularity.

Orange carnelian

Also known as chalcedony or orange agate, carnelian is a more opaque variation of reddish chalcedony.  The more the sun's rays hit it, the more its orange tone intensifies and becomes more noticeable, also its value increases as it becomes more translucent. Of this orange semi precious stone, there are records dating back more than 4 thousand years, so it is one of the oldest.
