Product Specifications

What is a Natural Star Ruby?

Star Ruby is one of the rarest varieties of Ruby and is admired for the extraordinary optical phenomenon called asterism. The six-rayed star is produced naturally by microscopic rutile needle inclusions that formed inside the gemstone during its geological formation over millions of years.

Unlike faceted Rubies, Star Rubies are generally fashioned into smooth cabochons because this cut allows the star to appear prominently. When exposed to sunlight or a focused light source, the luminous star moves gracefully across the surface of the gemstone.

Untreated & Unheated Natural Ruby

This gemstone has not undergone any artificial heating or colour enhancement. Its appearance is entirely natural, preserving the gemstone exactly as nature created it. Untreated and unheated Rubies are significantly rarer than commercially treated stones and are appreciated for their originality and authenticity.

Natural inclusions, growth patterns, and internal crystal structures are part of every genuine Ruby and are considered evidence of natural origin.

About Surya Kant Manik

In the traditional Indian gemstone trade, Star Ruby is widely known as Surya Kant Manik. The name reflects the gemstone's association with the Sun and the striking star that appears when illuminated. This moving star is one of nature's most captivating optical effects and contributes greatly to the gemstone's uniqueness.
