October – Star Ruby – Hope

Star Rubies are a rare variety of the gemstone Ruby which is consider as an emblem of “Hope” from the ancient times. These magnificent gems display a sharp six-rayed star which seems to glide magically across the surface of the gem when the latter is moved. This is caused due to an optical phenomenon known as “Asterism”. The star is best visible when the star ruby is seen in a single light source such as sunlight and spotlight.

Traditionally, star rubies were worn by knights in the battlefields to protect themselves from the enemy providing Hope in victory. Local tales in India say that if it is worn as a visible pendant or as a headgear then anyone who faces you as an enemy loses half his valour (determination in facing great danger, especially in battle) or Courage making them hopeless. The power of star ruby is said to be the highest during full moon.

Star Ruby is said to pep up internal strength, ward off tensions, de-stress the mind and drive away stress related problems like migraine, insomnia, and hysteria. The healing powers of gemstones remain a controversial issue, but are mentioned since ages by healers, shamans and medicine men. Whether it’s a fact or a placebo effect doesn’t matter, if it helps. 

What causes the star-effect in star rubies?

Star-effect or “asterism” is caused by the dense inclusions of tiny fibers of rutile (also known as “silk”). The stars are caused by the light reflecting from needle-like inclusions of rutile aligned perpendicular to the rays of the star. However, since rutile is always present in star rubies, they are never completely transparent. In fact, star ruby is one of those few gemstones which actually require inclusions.

Are star rubies rare?

Today, out of every 100 rough corundum (ruby and sapphire) mined; only three will have stars apparent after being cut into cabochons. Out of these three, one will have a poor color but a good star; one will have a poor star but a good color and only one out of hundred will have both a good star and a good color! Most original sources of star rubies such as Burma have run out of supplies. Worldwide production today is yielding a very small quantity of fine stars (especially in sizes above 5 carats). Star rubies are becoming rare as most rough today is cut into faceted stones after heating instead of being cut into cabochons to display the star. Till the 1960’s star rubies fetched more prices than faceted rubies!

How to determine the value of a star ruby?

Carat size (weight)

Normally, star rubies are available in the sizes ranging from 1 carat to 15 carats. Fine star rubies of large sizes are extremely rare and cost a lot of money.

Most rough rubies that can be cut into stars are mined from Burma (Myanmar), Sri Lanka, India, Africa, Vietnam, Thailand, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Australia, Cambodia, United States.
