A very impressive 6 ray Star Sapphire from Sri Lanka. Very distinct Asterism (star effect). A stunning specimen.
Star Sapphire is rare variety of Sapphire that exhibits a rare 'asterism' under specific lighting. When viewing Star Sapphire, a six-rayed star will appear to float across the surface of the stone. The effect is best viewed under a direct light source and while tilting and rotating the stone from different angles. Star Sapphires contain unusual tiny needle-like inclusions of rutile aligned needles that intersect each other at varying angles to produce the rare phenomenon known as ‘asterism’.
