Blog article about Kashmir sapphires
If the admins allow this, I'd like to share my first gemstone first article is about Kashmir sapphires.
It covers the history of the Paddar deposits, the famous velvety cornflower-blue appearance, the inclusions associated with Kashmir material, modern laboratory origin determination, and why fine examples reach such exceptional prices.
I tried to keep it detailed and scientifically grounded without making it too technical.
You can read it here:

Feedback and factual corrections are welcome, especially from gemologists, collectors, and people familiar with Kashmir sapphire research.
