Stamped 'MAGIC GLO 10k', this classy size 9.75 band weighs approximately 5.07 grams and is in excellent condition for its age. The top of the ring is approximately 9.04 mm, tapering to 2.53 mm at the bottom of the band for comfortable wear.
A mesmerizing variety of the mineral Corundum, the Star Sapphire is defined by its stunning optical phenomenon known as asterism. This six-rayed star—or occasionally a four- or twelve-rayed star—appears to float and glide across the domed surface (cabochon cut) of the gem when viewed under a single, direct light source. The effect is caused by tiny, needle-like inclusions of the mineral Rutile, which reflect light along specific crystallographic axes. A hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale makes it an exceptionally durable stone, second only to Diamond. Historically, Star Sapphires have been highly prized as powerful talismans, often referred to as the "Stone of Destiny," and believed to bring protection, wisdom, and divine guidance to the wearer. While most famous in its rich, velvety blues, this unique Sapphire can be found in various colors, each one embodying the enhanced energy of its base color alongside the symbolism of the celestial star.
