Star Gems
The stars in gemstones are caused by reflections off tube-like silk aligned
in two or three directions causing four or six ray stars. A number of
different gem species exhibit star to different degrees. Some of the stars
are strong such as those found in the finest star sapphires while some
are weak. Few if any resemble the intense stars found in synthetic star
Linde sapphires. Keep this in mind and realize that Mother Nature creates
few things that are perfect.
