Collection: star ruby
Star ruby is a type of ruby and is a distinctive gemstone with a star-like brilliance inside.
This gem belongs to the corundum mineral group and has a bright red color. Its beauty is due to the presence of chromium as well as rubies.
The most distinctive feature of Star Ruby is that it has a glow called asterism inside. This is created by the arrangement of mineral crystals inside. The crystals are made up of needle-like minerals that are aligned in specific directions.
When light hits a star ruby's surface, the needle-like mineral crystals reflect the light, creating star-like patterns radiating from each crystal. This phenomenon is caused by the interaction of light reflection and refraction.
Star ruby asterisms most commonly appear with 6 stars, but 4 and 12 stars can also be seen. The brightness and sharpness of a star also depends on the quality of the gemstone and the accuracy of its cut.
Star rubies are prized by gem enthusiasts and collectors for their unique brilliance and beauty.
