Gems of Nirvana brings you beautiful Star Sapphires.  How is the star created?  Asterism - Effect exhibited on some minerals (usually only in polished cabochons) causing it to reflect a billowy, star-like formation of concentrated light which moves around when the mineral is rotated. Asterism is caused by dense inclusions of tiny, parallel, slender, fibers in the mineral which cause the light to reflect in such an interesting manner. Minerals that display asterism may exhibit four, six, and sometimes twelve rayed "stars", depending on the inclusions, size, and facet mode. Some specimens may display much stronger asterism than others, and some specimens may have areas where the inclusions are not present, leaving holes or empty areas in the star.

All these natural Star Sapphires are dark blue, and while my picture taking is not the best, these are all high quality.
