Footnote
The optical affect asterism can be seen in this star sapphire with the application of a pointed light source (such as a hand torch), as microscopic inclusions within the stone reflect the light and produce a six-rayed star that moves with the light. Even in absence of applied light, viewed in normal daily wear this star sapphire has an almost ethereal quality, with the dark stone exhibiting a luminous glow as rays of daylight enter the stone.
