Seeing the star
A star stone shows its star most clearly under one strong light, like the sun or a phone torch. Tilt it slowly and watch the lines move across the dome.
Setting a star ruby
Keep the top of the dome open so light can reach it. A simple bezel or four low prongs works well for a ring or pendant.

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.
