4.40 Ct. Pink Star Sapphire from Burma (Myanmar)

One beautiful translucent 4.40 carat round shape pink star sapphire is offered with dimensions of 9.71 x 9.46 x 4.20 mm, cabochon cut, clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, intense color intensity, and an excellent polish, enhancement no enhancement, origin Burma, Myanmar. The cabochon cut is the traditional and optimal form for exhibiting asterism, the star effect, which in this stone is produced by aligned rutile inclusions that reflect light to form the characteristic star. Translucency allows light to penetrate and interact with the rutile needles, producing a sharp and mobile star when the stone is viewed under a single light source. The clarity description very slightly included evaluated at eye level indicates that the stone is eye clean to most observers, with minor internal features that do not detract from appearance and in fact often enhance the asterism by providing the scattering planes needed to form a distinct star. The excellent polish and well balanced dome permit the star to glide across the surface, and the measured proportions of 9.71 x 9.46 x 4.20 mm provide a pleasing table and depth that maintain both intensity and face up presence.

For the educated buyer, this Burmese pink star sapphire combines several attributes that justify its desirability and premium. Burma has a long established reputation for producing sapphires with superior color saturation and natural origin stones from this region are particularly sought after, especially when no enhancement is present. Natural asterism in a pink sapphire of intense color is uncommon, and when paired with a cabochon that displays a sharp star and excellent polish, the result is a collectible gem suitable for both fine jewellery and investment. The 4.40 carat weight is substantial for a star sapphire and offers versatility for classic solitaire or bespoke halo settings that will emphasize the star and color.
