Star Rubies

Are you thinking of creating a bit of custom jewelry? Have you been wondering which gem to pick? Read here to find out about the ideal choice for your creation : the rare and precious gem called the star ruby. These electrifying gems display a sharpened six-rayed star which seems to glide and glitter magically across the outermost layer of the gem when the gem is moved. This is due to an optical illusion known as “Asterism”. The star is best perceivable when the ruby is seen in one source of illumination like sunlight or a direct attention.

Star-effect, or “asterism,” is because of the density of little fibers called rutile. The stars spring from the light reflecting from needle-like inclusions of rutile aligned vertical to the rays of the star. Since rutile is continually present in star rubies, they are never completely clear. The star ruby is one of the few valuable stones which need inclusions, or imperfections, so as to accomplish their valuable status.

Star rubies are uncommonly rare. Worldwide production today is yielding a minute quantity of fine stars, especially in sizes above five carats. today, out of each 100 coarse rubies mined, only three will have stars obvious after being cut into cabochons. Out of these three, one will have a poor colour but a good star, one will have a poor star but a good colour and only one out of hundred will have both a good star and a good colour! Most original sources of star rubies like Mogok, Burma have totally run straight out of supplies.

Beyond the rarity and beauty of these gems, star rubies are considered to hold mystical powers. The healing powers of gems have been debated since traditional times by healers, shamans and medicine men. Historically, star rubies were worn by knights in the battlegrounds to guard themselves from danger. Folklore from Karnataka, India asserts that if a warrior wears a star ruby as a pendant or headband, then his enemy loses half his bravado! The power of the star ruby is alleged to be the highest during full moon. Legend has it the star ruby is to ignite internal strength, ward off tensions, quiet the mind, and drive away stress related issues like headache, insomnia, and hysteria.

pretty in colour, high in quality, and unusual to find, the star ruby is the ideal choice for your piece of custom handmade jewelry. Give her a gift that may twinkle as brightly as her eyes. Go to your local jeweller today and ask about the unequalled star ruby.
