6.00 Ct. Grey Star Sapphire from Burma (Myanmar)

Introducing a stunning addition to our exclusive collection at The Natural Sapphire Company: a captivating 6.00 carat grey star sapphire that exemplifies exceptional quality and craftsmanship. This particular gemstone is crafted with precision in a classic round shape, measuring 9.87 x 9.48 x 5.67 mm. It is adorned with a cabochon cut which is traditionally favored for star sapphires due to its ability to highlight the optical phenomenon known as asterism. The eye-catching star effect is unique to each stone, making this sapphire a truly one-of-a-kind piece.

The cabochon cut of this star sapphire is expertly polished to an excellent finish, ensuring an exquisite sheen that delights the eye. This particular sapphire's medium light color intensity gently complements its grey hue, offering a versatile and sophisticated look. Such intricacies in color make the stone particularly appealing to those who appreciate the subtle yet profound beauty of colored gemstones. Furthermore, its clarity is graded as very slightly included when viewed at eye level, which underscores the stone's relative purity and the skill involved in its selection.

In terms of durability, this star sapphire rates between 9 and 9.5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, a testament to its resilience. Sapphires rank among the hardest gemstones, second only to diamonds, which ensures that they are an exceptional choice for long-lasting jewelry. This robust nature not only guarantees the stone's usefulness in various settings but also confirms its longevity, offering an heirloom quality that collectors treasure. The presence of minor inclusions does not deter from its beauty but instead adds character, a hallmark of authenticity cherished by gemstone connoisseurs.

The provenance of this gemstone traces back to Burma, known today as Myanmar, a region globally celebrated for producing some of the finest sapphires in the world. Burmese mines are renowned for their conditions that naturally lend themselves to the formation of superior star sapphires, adding an extra layer of desirability to this already magnificent stone. At The Natural Sapphire Company, this commitment to sourcing only the best gems is part of our unwavering dedication to excellence, ensuring each piece not only meets but exceeds the expectations of our discerning clientele.
