Seeing the star

A star ruby shows its star most clearly under one strong light, such as the sun or a phone torch. Tilt the stone slowly and watch the star glide across the dome.

Under soft, spread-out light the star can look faint, which is normal for star stones.

Lab report

Check it outdoors around midday, when the sun is high, for the clearest view of the rays.

A lab report for this ruby is available on request. Contact us to ask for it before you buy.

About Star Ruby

Star ruby is red corundum cut as a domed cabochon to show a six-rayed star. The star, called asterism, comes from fine rutile needles inside the stone reflecting light.

  • Mineral: Corundum
  • Hardness: 9 on the Mohs scale
  • Main sources: Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka, Vietnam, India
  • Treatments: Star rubies may be heated, and some on the market are glass-filled or have diffused stars; ask us for the lab report on any stone to see its treatment.
  • Care: Wash with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and store it separately so the dome does not get scuffed.
