[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 50950, member: 487"] Here's a great description of what makes a Star Sapphire. It's the Silk or Rutile needles inside the stone. [url]http://www.thenaturalsapphirecompany.com/t-education_sapphires/#Starsaphire[/url] Near bottom of page. I guess you'd probably need a loupe to see the Rutile needles and how they intersect to judge whether it will cut a star. If that Grey one is there GT must be more and better colours there. Nice one Varts, would look great to me as a pendant as Wal suggested. [/QUOTE]
