Star Sapphire (Bi-Color)

Item Description

This is an unusual and attractive gemstone. Star Sapphires are among the most highly sought after of all the Sapphire varieties. These stones are cut when thin, fibrous inclusions are are oriented inside of the Sapphire crystal at the correct angle to properly show off the "legs" of the star. When these inclusions are numerous enough to make the stone translucent or opaque, they allow light to be reflected in such a way that a star floats across the top of the stone with movement. It is an amazing phenomenon that is only seen in a few gems around the world. The actual "legs" of the star in this stone are very sharp, with no breaks, and excellent and consistency. To top it off, the stone has a beautiful blue and yellow-green bicolor appearance! Please note that I have been informed that this stone has been diffused. A cool Star Sapphire gem for any collector.
