Colored Enhanced Sapphires Are Real
 Sapphires are one of the most amazing precious gemstones. It is coveted for its spectrum of brilliant colors, size and clarity. Like other gems Sapphire is also formed deep within the bosom of the earth. It surfaces during volcanic eruption; during the process the stone passes through extreme heat and pressure. Heat removes the inclusions present in the gemstone. Meaning, if the sapphire does not pass through the requisite heat, then the gemstone will have inclusions and a dull appearance.
Most of the sapphires originally discovered do not emit vivid color and clarity. The reason can be lack of heat and pressure. Hence in order to remove the inclusion the gemstones and enhance its color they are heat treated. This practice of heating the gemstone is not a new phenomenon. Since ages, gemstones have been heated to improve its color and shine. It is also approved by the reputed gemological labs like GIA and EGL. Almost all the Sapphires sold commercially are color enhanced or treated for some reason.
It is a myth that Colored Enhanced Sapphires are unreal, since the real gems with a less color saturation are treated to correct the color. The treatments are generally permanent; the stone does not change its color during the regular usage. However be-ware of the colored crystals sold in the name of sapphires. Always buy your jewelry from a reputed jeweler and ask for a laboratory certificate. GIA and EGL mention the details of treatment on the certificate.
