12.29 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Blue Star Sapphire Pair from Burma (Myanmar)

This beautiful translucent pair of blue star sapphires from Burma Myanmar weighs 5.54 carats and 6.75 carats respectively, and they present as classic oval cabochons with measurements of 9.70 x 8.05 x 6.28 millimeters and 10.03 x 8.38 x 7.06 millimeters. Both stones show a medium intense blue body color and display asterism produced by fine oriented rutile silk, which creates a sharp star when properly illuminated. The cut is cabochon to maximize the star phenomenon, and the polish on both stones is assessed as excellent, providing a smooth dome that enhances the star contrast and overall translucency. Clarity is graded as slightly included at eye level, which is normal and frequently desirable for star sapphires because the internal silk that causes modest inclusions also produces the asterism. Importantly these sapphires have no enhancement, which means they are natural and untreated, and their documented origin of Burma Myanmar is significant because Burmese material is historically prized for its clarity, color saturation, and collector appeal.

For the educated buyer these two stones represent a compelling combination of provenance, physical quality, and rarity, especially as a matched pair with sizable weights suitable for matched earrings or a companion set. The medium intense color gives versatility for both classic and contemporary settings, while the cabochon form and excellent polish ensure the star reads well in directional light, which is critical to the wearing experience. The slightly included clarity should be understood as a characteristic that both supports the asterism and does not materially detract from the aesthetic under normal viewing conditions. The absence of heat treatment or diffusion places these sapphires in a higher tier of market desirability and long term value retention, particularly given their Burmese origin. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can advise on setting styles that protect the domes and present the stars to best effect, and we can provide additional imagery and grading information for informed decision making. If you value natural provenance, visible asterism, and an untreated matched pair that is ready for fine jewelry, this pair is a rare and attractive option.
