2.65 Ct. Blue Star Sapphire from Burma (Myanmar)

Introducing the exquisite 2.65 carat oval shape blue star sapphire, a truly remarkable specimen that transcends the ordinary with its impressive attributes. Measuring 7.48 x 6.96 x 4.91 mm, this gemstone is a masterful demonstration of nature's splendor paired with the precision of human craftsmanship. Among the numerous facets that contribute to its distinctiveness, the rarity of its size and color elevates this sapphire to a league of its own. Unlike conventional sapphires that flood the market, this gem captivates with a singular translucent allure and possesses an engagement with light that is both beguiling and unparalleled. For the connoisseur appreciative of gemological excellence, this blue star sapphire emerges as a testament to The Natural Sapphire Company's dedication to procuring only the most exceptional specimens.

The cabochon cut exhibited by this blue star sapphire is a nod to both tradition and meticulous expertise. This technique ensures that the gemstone’s star, a mesmerizing celestial phenomenon caused by the inclusion of needle-like rutile, dances gracefully across the surface when viewed under direct light. This asterism effect is not merely a visual feat but an indication of the sapphire’s superior quality and unique internal structure. Unlike other gemstones where clarity is often prioritized, in star sapphires, the orchestration between inclusions and transparency is crucial in manifesting the desired optical effect. Thus, the very slightly included clarity grade of this gem is an affirmation of its capacity to host such an ethereal display without compromising transparency, which might otherwise party to a dull or overpowering aspect.

The medium light color intensity of this sapphire is equally critical to its classification as a rare treasure. Within the spectrum of blue sapphires, color variations are myriad and highly influential in determining value. This gemstone's particular hue exudes an unmistakable vibrancy balanced with tranquility, complementing the star's presence while commanding its own arena of grace. This delicate equilibrium is often sought but rarely achieved, making such a harmony between color and star phenomena an exceptional factor for discerning buyers. Additionally, its excellent polish enhances the visual appeal, ensuring each glance is met with a mirror-like surface that diminishes light scatter, allowing the stone’s intrinsic beauty to resonate unequivocally.

Originating from Burma, also known as Myanmar, this star sapphire benefits from a provenance that has historically contributed to the world's finest rubies and sapphires.

This region's unique geological conditions contribute mineral compositions and inclusions conducive to the creation of breathtaking star sapphires. For long-time collectors or those newly initiated to this field, a Burmese ancestry in gemstones presents an element of assured quality and authenticity prized within the community.
