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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis purple Ceylon sapphire has a soft, elegant color and a noticeable star that gives the gemstone a highly individual character.
