Something quite unusual and very alluring. Hexagonal color zoning and indeed visible hexagonal structure due to rutile can be a thing of real beauty in Sapphire. We have had lovely examples from Australia and Montana that showcase this, but this Malagasy stone has something a bit more. On top of the angular zoning, itself quite beautiful, is a fine 6-ray star. The asterism is the added benefit here - laser sharp and fully mobile, the contrast is both striking and fantastic. Great size, nice polish and simply wild.
