Star Rubies

Are you thinking of making a piece of custom jewelry? Have you been wondering which gem to choose? Read here to learn about the ideal choice for your creation : the rare and dear gem known as the star ruby. These impressive gems display a sharpened six-rayed star which appears to glide and glitter magically across the outer 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 daylight or a direct attention.

Star-effect, or “asterism,” is thanks to the density of small 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’re never absolutely clear. The star ruby is one of the few precious stones which need inclusions, or defects, so as to reach their valuable status.

Star rubies are uncommonly rare. Worldwide production today is yielding a minute quantity of fine stars, particularly in sizes above 5 carats. today, out of each a hundred coarse rubies mined, only 3 will have stars obvious after being cut into cabochons. Out of these 3, one will have a poor color but a good star, one will have a poor star but a good color and a single out of hundred will have both a good star and a good color! Most original sources of star rubies like Mogok, Burma have totally run straight out of supplies.

Beyond the scantiness and beauty of these gems, star rubies are thought to hold paranormal powers. The healing powers of gems have been debated since ancient times by healers, shamans and medication men. Historically, star rubies were worn by knights in the battlefields to protect themselves from danger. Folklore from Karnataka, India says that if a soldier wears a star ruby as a pendant or headband, then his adversary loses half his bravery! The power of the star ruby is alleged 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, sleeplessness, and hysteria.

pretty in color, excellent in 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 jeweller today and ask about the incomparable star ruby.
