This exquisite translucent grey star sapphire, weighing 1.12 carats, represents a rare find in both size and color. Its oval shape measures 6.15 x 4.79 x 3.48 mm, offering a substantial presence for its weight class. The cabochon cut enhances its unique optical phenomenon known as asterism, where a luminous star-like shape appears on the surface when viewed under direct light. Such characteristics are seldom seen in sapphires of this relatively modest size, making it an exceptional piece for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
The gemstone's clarity grade is slightly included, evaluated at eye level, maintaining a visually appealing presentation without significant detractions. Its very light color intensity is subtle yet captivating, enhancing its distinctive star pattern without overshadowing the stone's natural beauty. The excellent polish further elevates the sapphire's allure, ensuring a smooth, reflective surface that highlights its quality craftsmanship and inherent radiance.
Originating from the storied mines of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, this star sapphire is a testament to the region's renowned gemstone legacy. Ceylon sapphires are celebrated for their superior quality and are highly sought after in the world of fine gemstones. The Natural Sapphire Company prides itself on sourcing such extraordinary stones, providing discerning clients with unparalleled access to precious gems like this grey star sapphire. Its combination of rarity, quality, and origin enhances its desirability, making it a treasured addition to any esteemed collection.
