Star Sapphire Quality

Star Sapphire, due to its appearance, has a great demand among jewelry lovers and jewelry designers. Few parameters (star sapphire price per carat for example) help in judging the quality of Star Sapphire and based on these parameters only the real value of a star sapphire gemstone is calculated. The following parameters are as follows -

• Origin

  : The origin of Star Sapphires affects the quality of these gemstones. Star Sapphires from Burma and Sri Lanka ( Ceylon star sapphire ) are regarded as the finest quality Star Sapphire gemstones because they have the least amount of inclusions and exhibit a well-defined star effect. Black Star Sapphires from Thailand are very popular for their unique golden rayed star effect. Other quality Star Sapphires are sourced from Madagascar, Nigeria, Cambodia, and the United States.

• Color

  : The color of Star Sapphire is one of the most important factors determining the quality of the gemstone. Star sapphires can range in blue colors and various colors like pink, orange, yellow, green, lavender, gray, and black. The coloring agents in Blue Star Sapphire are iron and titanium, and vanadium in purple-colored Star Sapphires. A small number of iron results in yellow and greenish color tones, while chromium produces fine pink to red tones. The most desirable color of Star Sapphire is the vivid, intense blue which generally holds the highest quality and price.

• Cut

  : Proper cutting of the Star sapphire gemstone is important to gain a centrally located, truly visible Star effect. The Star sapphires, in most cases, are cut and polished in cabochons to attain the fine Star-like pattern on the gemstone’s surface. Star Sapphire cabochons in ideal round or oval shapes are pretty desirable.

• Clarity

  : Every Star Sapphire gemstone will contain inclusions in different amounts as these inclusions are the actual reason for asterism. Star Sapphires are typically opaque with some finer specimens that may exhibit slight translucency. Star Sapphire’s star-like pattern is due to the perfectly aligned needle-like rutile inclusions of the gemstone. The rutile inclusions in star sapphire result in a vitreous to silky luster when cut and polished.

Star Sapphire Buyer Beware Guidelines

Star Sapphire has become one of the most desirable gemstones due to its unique star-like effect. Therefore imitations of star sapphire for sale tend to circulate the market more frequently than one could imagine. Fake Star Sapphire gemstones are generally heat-treated before they are cut. They are heated between 1700 to 1800 degrees Celsius (3100-3300 degrees F) for several hours to improve the color and clarity of the gemstone. The imitations are done so perfectly that it becomes extremely difficult for the buyer to point out any differences. These fake gemstones do not maintain the quality standards of an authentic Star Sapphire and therefore, one should not invest in these fake gemstones. If the buyer is not aware of how to differentiate between a real and fake Star Sapphire gemstone, then they should always ask for a report from a reputed Gemological Laboratory or a certificate that proves that the Star Sapphire gemstone is authentic. To identify the authenticity of the Star Sapphire, the customer can cross-check the report number on the Gem Lab certificate from the Gem Lab website or the company lab. If both the report numbers are alike, then it is an authentic Star Sapphire gemstone certification.

We at GemPundit provide a Gem Lab Certification for every gemstone we sell. This allows a buyer to confirm that the stone is real by cross-checking the certificate details directly from the Gem Laboratory.
