A star sapphire is a sapphire that exhibits a star-like phenomenon known as asterism. Star sapphires contain intersecting needle-like rutile inclusions that cause the appearance of a six-rayed star when viewed with a single overhead light source. The value of a star sapphire depends not only on the carat weight of the stone but also the body color, visibility and intensity of the asterism.
