We do have other sapphires in all colors and will list any for your viewing. See below for normal sapphire treatments. Most sapphire are heat treated, we avoid any other treatments.

The most common treatment for sapphire is heat treatment. Stones are heated (generally before they are cut) to between 1700 to 1800 degrees Celsius (3100-3300 degrees F) for several hours. This is a continuation of how nature made the gemstones first: massive amounts of high heat. Most sapphires today are heated, and the stones of rich blue that are not heated can command huge prices in today's market, an example of how rare it is to find unheated sapphires today. Heating will change the color of the stone, for example turning a washed out, whitish sapphire into a sky blue.
