Give Her The Stars

Are you thinking about making a piece of custom jewelry? Have you been wondering which gem to pick? Read here to find out more about the ideal choice for your creation : the rare and valuable gem known as the star ruby. These impressive gems display a sharpened six-rayed star which appears to glide and glisten 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 a single source of illumination like sunlight or a direct attention.

Star-effect, or “asterism,” is because of 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 continually present in star rubies, they are never totally clear. The star ruby is one of the few dear stones which need inclusions, or defects, so as to reach their valuable standing.

Star rubies are extraordinarily rare. Worldwide production today is yielding a minute quantity of fine stars, especially in sizes above 5 carats. today, out of each a hundred 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 a single 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 straight out of supplies.

Beyond the scantiness and sweetness of these gems, star rubies are considered to hold paranormal powers. The healing powers of gems have been debated since traditional times by healers, shamans and medicine men. Traditionally, star rubies were worn by knights in the battlegrounds to protect themselves from danger. Folklore from Karnataka, India asserts that if a soldier wears a star ruby as a pendant or headband, then his enemy loses half his bravery! The power of the star ruby is claimed 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.

Gorgeous in colour, excellent in quality, and rare 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 incomparable star ruby.
