Earth-mined purple 6-ray star sapphire weighing an impressive 55.99ct ETW in an oval cabochon with slightly included clarity.

This sapphire is unheated, preserving its naturally occurring color and character without heat enhancement. Its combination of substantial size and untreated status adds particular interest for collectors of phenomenal sapphires.

The gemstone exhibits asterism, the optical phenomenon responsible for its six-ray star. Under a concentrated light source, intersecting rays form a star across the cabochon's surface, with the star appearing to move as the gemstone or light source is moved.

Sapphire is the gem variety of corundum and is renowned for its excellent durability and remarkable range of colors. Star sapphires are cut as cabochons to reveal their asterism, making the optical phenomenon a central feature of the gemstone.

Accompanied by a GLC gemological report, providing independent documentation and added confidence for collectors and buyers.

At an extraordinary 55.99 carats, this is a commanding collector-size gemstone. Its exceptional size makes it particularly well suited as a centerpiece for a statement pendant, display piece, or significant addition to a collection of phenomenal gemstones.

The combination of massive size, purple coloration, natural six-ray asterism, unheated character, and independent gemological documentation gives this individual star sapphire distinctive collector appeal.

A remarkable earth-mined star sapphire combining substantial size with one of the gemstone world's most recognizable optical phenomena.
