Rare Double-star Blue Sapphire.  Polished as an oval cabochon with a high dome, this sapphire of classic Sri Lankan cornflower blue, possesses a very unusual form of asterism: when the stone is illuminated with a single point light source, two superimposed six-rayed stars appear. The rays of one star are almost parallel to, and just to the side of, the other.

Asterism, or the “star stone” effect, occurs rarely in quartz but is especially striking in rose quartzes. Since these gems may contain microscopic inclusions of rutile needles, cabs can sometimes show a six-rayed star when properly cut.    Photo Credits: IG 📷 http://superseven.cn/

Not all stars can be found in Hollywood or Bollywood. Donated to the Smithsonian in 1965 by advertising mogul Rosser Reeves (who among other things coined the advertising jingle 'M & M's, they melt in your mouth, not in your hands') this stunning 138.70ct Sri Lankan Star Ruby is perhaps one of the finest star rubies you will ever see. Currently illuminating the pages of The Handbook of Gemmology and again photographed by Tino Hammid
