ABOUT THIS GEM: | STAR RUBY |
Star effect or "asterism" is caused by the dense inclusions of tiny fibers of foreign particles in gems. Generally, these inclusions are the reason of the reflection of light and form a wavy star like formation, which moves around when the gemstone is rotated.
Star Rubies are beautiful gemstones that display a six-ray star that seems to glide magically across the surface of the gem when the latter is moved. This six-ray star is caused due to an optical phenomena known as "Asterism".
Star Rubies, which are becoming more rare, are very popular for men's rings. A Star Ruby is judged by the sharpness of the star, the evenness of the rays or "legs" of the star, and the body color of the Ruby.
