Twelve ray Star Sapphire is quite uncommon, it usually results from a twinned crystal being carefully cut into a cabochon. This is a fine and somewhat unusual example in that it is not entirely black - it appears that the twinned crystals were black and deep purple as there is evidence of that color near the edges. Great size and well centered and very distinct 12 rays.
