FAQs
What is a black star sapphire?
A black star sapphire is a variety of sapphire that shows a star-shaped light effect (asterism) caused by inclusions within the stone. The star becomes visible under direct light.
Are black star sapphire gemstones natural?
Yes, all black star sapphire gemstones at GemSelect are natural. Any treatments, if present, are clearly disclosed for full transparency.
Why are star sapphires cut as cabochons?
Cabochon cutting enhances the visibility of the star effect. Faceting would disrupt the asterism, so a smooth dome is preferred.
Is black star sapphire suitable for daily wear?
Yes, with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, black star sapphire is durable enough for everyday jewelry such as rings and pendants.
What determines the quality of a black star sapphire?
Quality is based on the sharpness and symmetry of the star, body color, transparency, and overall appearance. A centered, well-defined star is most valuable.
Can I buy black star sapphire in calibrated sizes?
Yes, we offer a selection of calibrated black star sapphire gemstones suitable for standard jewelry settings, along with unique free-size stones.

This is the first time I have used this site. I was dissatisfied with the quality of gems and supplies elsewhere and decided to try GemSelect. They are awesome! I was thrilled to see the variety and the great web performance. There was the ability to search for information as well as gems. Things like the clarity rating system and caret weight of the gems. I have always loved making things and I have just started to make jewelry as a business. However I have never made a ring before and have always wanted to. On GemSelect I was able to find good quality gems to use in my creations. I am so glad the website is so easy to use. Thank you GemSelect.
