The premium attached to the golden canary yellow color is the primary reason why treated yellow sapphires are heat treated in the first place – a gem with this color is more in demand and would fetch a premium price!

However, nature has its way of maintaining exclusivity and the gems naturally mined having such a lovely color devoid of any treatment whatsoever, are very rare and hence the premium attached to them.
