Another oddity that we simply found enchanting. This stone is half gem crystal and half traditional cabochon - what makes it work so well is that the Sapphire is actually a Sri Lankan star. A very respectable 6-ray gem on the polished end is balanced by a classic Sapphire crystal morphology on the other; all with a lovely slightly greyish-blue bodycolor. Endlessly fascinating, this is teaching tool, gemological oddity and collection gem all in one.
