2.23 Ct. Blue Star Sapphire from Burma (Myanmar)

There are gemstones that tell a story of place and time, and then there are stones that seem to carry the very memory of ancient skies, preserved for the modern collector. This exquisite translucent blue star sapphire from Burma Myanmar weighs 2.23 carats, and its oval form measures 6.64 x 6.56 x 4.65 mm, proportions that are as balanced as they are graceful. Cut en cabochon to reveal the inner play of light, this gem displays a gentle, drifting asterism that appears when a single source of light travels across its surface, evoking the long tradition of star sapphires prized by kings and pilgrims alike. The heritage of Burmese sapphires is storied and deeply respected in the world of fine gems, and this piece carries that lineage in every soft glow and translucent depth, making it an object of quiet majesty for any historical collection.

To the connoisseur who appreciates both pedigree and physical character, the technical attributes of this star sapphire are compelling. It is unenhanced, a rare and honest specimen that requires no treatment to achieve its natural charm. The clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and those internal features contribute to the formation of the star and to the gem's individuality in a way that polished perfection cannot replicate. The color is described as medium intensity blue, a tone that neither overwhelms nor recedes, but rather sits perfectly between soft serenity and dignified depth. The polish is excellent, allowing the star to glide across the dome with a clarity and smoothness that only the most careful lapidary work can accomplish. The cabochon profile has been shaped with sensitivity to the stone's optical axis, so the star registers with symmetry and presence, and the oval outline provides a classic silhouette that suits a broad range of settings while paying homage to time honored design.

For those seeking the perfect addition to a high end gemstone collection, this Burmese blue star sapphire is an ideal candidate. Its combination of provenance, natural asterism, and lack of enhancement makes it a gemstone that speaks to collectors who value authenticity and history as much as beauty. Paired with fine jewelry or kept as a centerpiece in a curated collection, it offers both investment quality and narrative richness. Imagine it set in a heritage style ring with artisan work that frames the cabochon in soft, archival metalwork, or housed in a museum style case where its star can be studied and admired under focused light.
