Star Sapphire

Star sapphires are unique in that they contain small inclusions in their structure that align in such a way that they reflect a magical six-pointed star. Perhaps the most dramatic example of star sapphires is the black variety, when the star shining brightly from the dark background. The largest star sapphire on record was discovered in the 1930s. Known as the Black Star of Queensland, it astonishes at a whopping 733 carats!

Combining the wonder of the star pattern with the celestial blue color most associated with sapphires makes for a heavenly combination. This unusual and handsome gem is popular in both men's and women's designs. Three centuries ago, the incredible Star of India was discovered. This rare jewel not only unusually displays stars on both sides, it weighs a stunning 536 carats and is the size of a golf ball!
