Star Sapphire

(thing) by Segnbora-t (11.1 hr) (print) ? (I like it!) Fri Apr 07 2000 at 3:21:43

The star effect is caused by impurities within the stone which are pushed into tube shapes within the crystal structure of the gemstone. The tubes cross and look like an asterisk. Star ruby and star garnet are also fairly common.
