Natural Purple Star Sapphire – 1.90 Carat Oval Cabochon from Ceylon
A beautiful expression of nature, this 1.90 carat natural purple star sapphire from Ceylon displays a distinct star effect across its softly domed oval cabochon surface. Completely earth sourced and showing no treatment, this natural sapphire offers a soft violet-purple body color with the fascinating optical phenomenon known as asterism.
Measuring 7.02 × 4.82 × 5.41 mm, the gemstone has been shaped as an oval cabochon, the traditional style used to reveal the star in natural star sapphires. Under a focused light source, the star becomes more pronounced and appears to move across the surface as the gemstone is tilted.

A Natural Star Sapphire with Individual Character
Star sapphires are different from faceted gemstones because their beauty comes from the interaction of light with microscopic internal structures within the sapphire. When properly oriented and cut as a cabochon, these internal features can create a visible star that seems to glide across the dome under direct light.
This purple Ceylon sapphire has a soft, elegant color and a noticeable star that gives the gemstone a highly individual character. It may appeal to gemstone collectors, jewelry lovers and clients searching for rare natural gemstones with something more unusual than conventional faceted sapphire stones.
If you are comparing Ceylon sapphires with Australian sapphires, Madagascan sapphires, blue green sapphires, green sapphires or other colored gemstones, visit our Natural Sapphire & Colored Gemstone Buying Guide .
Completely Earth-Sourced and Untreated
This natural star sapphire is a completely earth-sourced gemstone and has received no treatment. It has not been heat treated, making it suitable for clients specifically searching for unheated sapphire gemstones and untreated sapphires.
Natural sapphires develop their color and internal characteristics over geological time, and those natural structures are precisely what allow the star effect to form. Each star sapphire therefore has its own personality, star position, color distribution and surface appearance.
What Could You Create with This Purple Star Sapphire?
This 1.90 carat oval cabochon could become an eye-catching centerpiece for a bespoke ring, engagement ring, promise ring, pendant or contemporary fine jewelry design. Because the star is the main feature, a relatively open and simple setting can help keep the optical effect visible.
Purple star sapphires work beautifully with several metal colors. White gold or platinum can create a cool, elegant appearance, while yellow gold offers a richer contrast. Rose gold may also complement the violet tones for a softer, romantic design.
Jewelry makers should use the exact 7.02 × 4.82 × 5.41 mm dimensions when creating a custom setting or selecting a suitable semi-mount. Because this is a cabochon rather than a faceted gemstone, the setting should accommodate the gemstone's domed profile and depth.
Watch the Natural Star Move Across the Sapphire
Star sapphires are best appreciated in motion. We strongly recommend watching the actual gemstone video, as the asterism becomes more visible when a focused light moves across the cabochon.

Fast delivery
I LOVE my ring, thank you so much Sapphirepal
It fits perfectly and I love the setting too. The stones are stunning!!!
Thank you again for delivering quality and helpful support.
Before making a purchase, I inquired if they would also create a setting for whichever gemstone I chose. After they confirmed they would, I found the most beautiful purple/lavender sapphire. I purchase the stone and then sent them the vision I have for the setting. They delivered 100% of what I asked for and even more I could’ve dreamed of. The east to west half bezel sapphire ring is truly breathtaking. Communication was easy, fast and they were super honest about delays and whatnot. Even when I changed my mind on a few details in the beginning, they were so kind and had no problem adjusting what I asked for or confirming any questions I had. I’m so thankful to have worked with Sapphire Pal. Truly, thank you for bringing my sapphire ring dream to life! <3
Smaller than anticipated but absolutely beautiful 😄 Shipping was quick, and it was handled with care.

However, reading the description of this gem, together with photos, I took the plunge and ordered this true gem. I was so very pleasantly surprised when it arrived, as it certainly held up to its reputation. This is the first time I have purchased from sapphire pal. And I don’t think it will be my last either. Communication, fast delivery, and accurate descriptions, all to be commended. Thank you.
