[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 427464, member: 2976"] Star sapphire, origin uncertain to me - the Anakie/Rubyvale field I think. The body tone looks black here but the stone is actually green-yellow. As with most of it's kind, it has a few cracks running through it, just like most emeralds do. Still came up quite nice. Star always shows best in direct sunlight but I don't get to use the camera/phone until missus gets home from work so it was photographed under a downlight. Not sure of the weight, it's still attached to the dop at present - measures approximately 15mm x 11mm.
