Fine star rubies and sapphires are highly valuable. The star moves across the face of the stone with shifts in light, an effect known as “asterism”. The word ‘asterism’ is derived from tthe Greek ‘aster’ which means star. The best ones possess an intensely rich body color and a strong sharp star with all six rays equally straight and prominent. It is extremely rare to find a gem that combines these qualities. Star rubies show pleochroism, it means that the gems will show different colors when viewed from different directions.
Asian origins: Sri Lanka, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, India.
Ruby Heat Treatment
Almost all rubies have flaws, it is estimated that ninety percent of rubies and sapphires on the world market today undergo heat treatment, a permanent process widely accepted by the gem trade. The gem dealers perfected a heat treatment process that transformed the worthless gems into valuable gems. Coatings are also used to camuflage the surface fractures of the stone, but it will wear off in time. Dyes are another method to intensify the color of rubies.
Traditionally, star rubies were worn by knights in the battlefields to protect themselves from the enemy. Local tales in Karnataka (India) say that if it is worn as a visible pendant or as a headgear then anyone who faces you as an enemy looses half his valour. The power of star ruby is said to be the highest during full moon.
Star Ruby is said to pep up internal strength, ward off tensions, de-stress the mind and drive away stress related problems like migraine, insomnia, and hysteria. The healing powers of gemstones remain a controversial issue, but are mentioned since ages by healers, shamans and medicine men. Whether it's a fact or a placebo effect doesn't matter, if it helps.
Ruby is the birthstone for July, and the Capricorn zodiac sign. The top quality of ruby is Star Ruby. Ruby is also used to celebrate a couple's 15th and 40th anniversaries.
Here is a video that shows how an absolutely beautiful Burmese Star Ruby looks under a light. The start pattern should move with the light and not stay in one spot.
Ps. Sorry about the templates here but I am still learning and trying to get help to learn more on how to make them.
