Ruby Flashed
Give Her The Stars
Are you thinking about making a chunk of custom jewelry? Have you been questioning which gem to choose? Read here to find out more about the perfect choice for your creation : the rare and dear gem called the star ruby. These electrifying gems display a sharpened six-rayed star which appears to glide and glisten magically across the outer layer of the gem when the gem is moved. This is due to an optical illusion known as “Asterism”. The star is best perceivable when the ruby is seen in one source of illumination like daylight or a direct focus.
Star-effect, or “asterism,” is thanks to the density of small fibers called rutile. The stars spring from the light reflecting from needle-like inclusions of rutile aligned vertical to the rays of the star. Since rutile is constantly present in star rubies, they’re never completely clear. The star ruby is one of the few dear stones which need inclusions, or imperfections, so as to attain their valuable standing.
Star rubies are extraordinarily rare. Worldwide production today is yielding a minute amount of fine stars, especially in sizes above 5 carats. Today, out of each a hundred coarse rubies mined, only three will have stars plain after being cut into cabochons. Out of these three, one will have a poor colour but a good star, one will have a poor star but a good colour and a single out of hundred will have both a good star and a good colour! Most original sources of star rubies like Mogok, Burma have totally run straight out of supplies.
Beyond the rarity and sweetness of these gems, star rubies are thought to hold mystical powers. The healing powers of gems have been discussed since ancient times by healers, shamans and medication men. Traditionally, star rubies were worn by knights in the battlefields to protect themselves from danger. Folklore from Karnataka, India says that if a warrior wears a star ruby as a pendant or headband, then his opponent loses half his bravery! The power of the star ruby is purported to be the highest during full moon. Legend has it the star ruby is to ignite internal strength, ward off tensions, quiet the mind, and drive away stress related issues like headache, sleeplessness, and hysteria.
Pretty in colour, high quality, and rare to find, the star ruby is the perfect choice for your piece of custom handmade jewelry. Give her a present which will twinkle as brightly as her eyes. Go to your local jeweler today and ask about the matchless star ruby.
