### Key Features
| Property | Details |

### Pink Sapphire vs. Ruby
Both are red-to-pink varieties of corundum. The key difference:
* Ruby = Red
* Pink Sapphire = Lighter than ruby, more pink than red
The dividing line depends on *color intensity**, which varies by gem lab (e.g., GIA, AGL)
---
### Best Sources of Pink Sapphire
* Sri Lanka (Ceylon) – Known for pastel to vivid pinks, very high quality
* Madagascar – Major modern source, wide range of hues
* Myanmar – Rich, intense colors, rare and valuable
* Tanzania & Thailand – More commercial-grade stones
---
### What to Watch For
* Heat treatment is common (disclosed or undisclosed)
* Beryllium diffusion can artificially enhance color — should be clearly stated
* Synthetic stones look similar but are lab-created — always request certification (GIA, IGI, etc.)
---
### Price Range
Prices vary greatly based on color, clarity, size, and treatment:
| Type | Approx. Price (per carat) |
| ------------------------------ | ----------------------------- |
| Light pink, treated | \$100 – \$500 |
| Vivid pink, treated | \$500 – \$2,000+ |
| Untreated, vivid pink | \$2,000 – \$10,000+ |
| Padparadscha (pink-orange mix) | Often \$5,000+ per carat |

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
