The gemstone was hand shaped ... moreand polished into this very beautiful oval cabochon by a 19th century Russian artisan for use in domestic jewelry. The result is an exquisite and incredibly richly colored precious gemstone with lots of depth and gorgeous tone. It is not a flawless gemstone. Of course it is the alignment of included material which creates the star– so star sapphires always have included material. The question is, how noticeable? With this particular specimen to casual scrutiny it simply appears to be a beautiful, unblemished star sapphire. However close inspection will reveal a few variations in the tone and a few internal blemishes. Of course here in these photo enlargements these blemishes are quite obvious. But in hand, life-size, they simply are not discerned when casually viewed. It is only when you examine it very carefully that you will notice some color zoning and a minor flaw or two. Of course, the same can be said of most sapphires in general, and particularly star sapphires. Color zoning is quite common in sapphires, and unless very obvious, is generally not seriously detrimental. Known as a"star" sapphire because of an optical effect known as an"asterism" orie

The color is exceptional, a red-pink with orange/peach undertones. The color is popularly known as“padparadsha” red, and the intense, almost“neon” hue is very pretty. This precious gemstone is by and large transparent. However as you can see, it possesses a lot of thin, silk strand-like seams composed of colorless crystalline material. Once set into a ring or pendant this material would be considerably less noticeable. But as it is though to the cursory glance of the casual admirer the gemstone seems without blemish, close examination will clearly show this finely stranded colorless crystalline material.
