10ct Ruby cabochon, displaying a permanent 6-point “star” or asterism, quite obvious under direct sunlight or under pinpoint light; set in a pendant created for it and handcrafted in Sydney, of hand-hammered Sterling Silver, solid 9ct Gold and solid 18ct Gold.
This type of opaque, plush purple Ruby Corundum is from Sth India; when cut with the flat rear parallel to the axis of the crystal, the myriad long Corundum inclusions lined up, this creates the characteristic surface sheen which allows light to enter only so far before being refracted back out in the form of an asterism, or “star”.
