3.60 Ct. Blue Star Sapphire from Burma (Myanmar)

In the world of gemstones, few can rival the storied past and enchanting allure of the star sapphire. Evoking images of ancient royalty and revered spiritual leaders, it is a gem that holds a prestigious place in both history and legend. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present an exquisite example of this timeless wonder in the form of our 3.60 carat round blue star sapphire. This gem, hailing from the mystical lands of Burma, commonly known as Myanmar, speaks to those who value tradition and the timeless elegance of nature’s finest creations.

Much like the revered Star of India, one of the most renowned sapphires in the world, our Burmese blue star sapphire showcases a captivating asterism that dances under even the softest light. This phenomenon, a star-like pattern that appears to glide across the gem's cabochon surface, has been likened to the guiding stars that ancient sailors followed in their quests for discovery. Our sapphire echoes the quality known in such famous stones but with its own distinct beauty. Its translucent body and intense medium blue hue are reminiscent of the deep, uncharted ocean, providing a window to the universe's mysteries on a more intimate scale.

The significance of the star sapphire throughout history is vast and multifaceted. Emperors and queens wore similar stones as amulets for protection and wisdom, believing them to be celestial talismans that linked the wearer to victories both earthly and metaphysical. The deep connections star sapphires have played in cultural traditions harmonize with its perceived attributes of clarity and insight. Our gemstone, with its effortless display of star-laden brilliance, invites those who wear it to partake in its storied legacy, fostering a connection with the ancient past while celebrating the values that stand the test of time.

Such is the allure of the blue star sapphire. Its very slightly included clarity and excellent polish ensure that it is not only a historical treasure but a contemporary masterpiece—a nod to antiquity wrapped in the elegance of today's craftsmanship. Measuring 7.77 x 7.57 x 5.51 mm, this precious gem is more than a stone; it is a promise of quality and authenticity upheld by The Natural Sapphire Company. In offering this sapphire of unparalleled allure and provenance, we invite you to join a lineage of those who have cherished these celestial symbols, allowing yourself the wonder of carrying history in your hands.
