Shine Like A Star Ruby

Are you thinking about making a chunk of custom jewelry? Have you been thinking about which gem to pick? Read here to learn about the ideal choice for your creation : the rare and valuable gem called the star ruby. These electrifying gems display a sharpened six-rayed star which appears to glide and glitter magically across the surface 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 light or a direct spotlight.

Star-effect, or “asterism,” is due to the density of tiny 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 constantly present in star rubies, they are never completely clear. The star ruby is one of the few valuable stones which need inclusions, or defects, in order to attain their valuable status.

Star rubies are remarkably rare. Worldwide production today is yielding a minute amount of fine stars, particularly in sizes above five carats. today, out of each one hundred coarse rubies mined, only three will have stars clear 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 just one out of hundred will have both a good star and a good colour! Most original sources of star rubies like Mogok, Burma have completely run right out of supplies.

Outside the scarceness and beauty of these gems, star rubies are generally believed to hold mystical powers. The healing powers of gems have been debated since traditional times by healers, shamans and medication 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 claimed to be the highest during full moon. Legend has it that the star ruby is to ignite internal strength, ward off tensions, quiet the mind, and drive away stress related issues like headache, sleeping problems, and hysteria.

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