To hold this stone is to experience a living optical phenomenon, the six ray star, known as asterism, appears crisply across the dome when light is directed across the surface, the translucency gives the star a floating, lunar quality, rather than a harsh or mechanical appearance, this gentle celestial shimmer is favored by collectors who prize natural phenomena over artificial effects, the oval silhouette has been shaped to balance brilliance of the star with comfortable proportions for setting, at 5.39 x 5.06 x 3.93 mm the stone sits perfectly as a central jewel in a refined ring or elegant pendant, its 1.04 carat weight makes it substantial enough to be a focal point, yet modest enough to suit bespoke designs that emphasize nuance and taste.
