Earth-mined blue green star sapphire weighing 2.29ct ETW in an oval cabochon cut from Thailand, featuring opaque clarity, unheated character, and a natural six-ray star effect.

This sapphire displays attractive blue-green coloration with a distinctive six-ray star that becomes visible under suitable direct illumination. This optical phenomenon, known as asterism, creates a luminous star pattern across the polished cabochon surface.

Star sapphire belongs to the corundum mineral family and is prized for its exceptional hardness and unique optical characteristics. Its star effect is produced by the reflection of light from microscopic needle-like inclusions within the gemstone.

Thailand has a long history of gemstone production and trading, particularly in the Chanthaburi region, internationally recognized for its gem industry.

This gemstone is unheated, preserving its naturally occurring color and optical characteristics. Its opaque appearance is typical of many star sapphires, where the internal inclusions responsible for the star effect are an important part of the gemstone's identity.

At 2.29 carats and measuring 9.2 x 7.8 x 2.7 mm, this sapphire offers attractive proportions for a custom pendant or collector's display. Its smooth oval cabochon shape highlights the six-ray star phenomenon.

Sapphire has a Mohs hardness of 9, providing excellent resistance to scratching and making it suitable for jewelry with appropriate care.

This individual Thai star sapphire combines natural blue-green coloration, six-ray asterism, and unheated character in a distinctive collectible gemstone.
