It''s an abbreviated name for the trade name for a rare type of orange/pink sapphire - ''padparadscha.'' PS''ers love to use abbreviated names for gems Here''s some others.
tsav = tsavorite
spess = spessartite
I don''t know if there are any others, but if I''m missing some, let me know. I personally like spelling out the word, since I think novices confuse pad, pronounced ''pod'' (like ''i-pod'') with the word ''pad'' (as in ''bachelor''s pad''). LOL!!
