5-Star Facts about the Ruby

The star ruby is a rare variety of the ruby gemstone, displaying a sharp six-rayed star that seems to glide across the surface when the stone moves.
Star-effect (or “asterism”) is caused by dense inclusions of tiny, needle-like fibres of rutile (“silk”), aligned perpendicular to the rays of the star.
Rubies are usually red, but not the star ruby, which tends to be available in a pinkish-red, purplish-red or purplish-brown hue.
Currently, of every 100 rough corundum (ruby and sapphire) mined, only three will have apparent stars after being cut into cabochons: one will feature a poor colour but a good star; another a poor star but a good colour; and only one out of 100 both a good star and a good colour.
The majority of rough rubies that can be cut into stars are mined in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Australia, Cambodia, the United States, and most commonly Africa and India.

For Something Slightly Different…

Star rubies are said to have been worn by knights on the battlefields to protect themselves from the enemy. In Karnataka (India) a traditional tale claims that, if star rubies are worn as a visible pendant or a headgear, anyone who faces you as an enemy loses half their courage. While not suggesting you should go into battle, how about visiting India to explore the power of the star ruby – which apparently is at its highest during full moon. Quite appropriate for a romantic 52nd wedding anniversary dinner under the stars…

Whether in the familiar comfort of home, or fossicking in a mine in Rubyvale (Australia), take this opportunity to reflect on all the treasured years you have spent together.
