SapphireSri Lanka Star Sapphire | The Heart of Asteria
Sri Lanka mines have produced history's most renowned asteriated corundum. This specimen displays a distinct six-rayed star centered on a vivid blue body. Historical records document these stones as protective talismans for ancient maritime traders along the Silk Road. The natural alignment of rutile needles creates a sharp optical phenomenon that remains unalterable by modern heat treatment methods.
This 8-carat natural star sapphire originates from the historic gem gravels Sri Lanka, exhibiting a Vivid Blue hue with no indications of heating, accompanied by a GRS report. The Vivid Blue color grade represents the optimum saturation for Ceylonese corundum, maintaining balanced body color without over-darkening under artificial light. The unheated classification guarantees that the prominent six-rayed asterism is entirely organic, resulting from the slow, uninterrupted cooling of titanium dioxide within the crystal lattice over millions of years. GRS certification confirms both origin authenticity and the absence of thermal enhancement. JUSTLEE selects gems based strict scientific verification and untampered natural provenance. Available for private viewing by appointment.
