Star sapphire is an extremely rare and valuable blue gem found in clusters of sapphires, which are themselves only found in clusters of bauxite.
In Real Life[edit]
The "star" pattern that this mineral is known for is caused by rutile (Titanium dioxide: TiO2) crystals that have impregnated the host corundum crystal. Star sapphires are only smoothed into cabochons, as cutting them with facets does not allow the star pattern to be seen.
