An asterism or a star effect in a gemstone is an optical phenomenon displayed by some rubies, sapphires, and other gemstones (e.g. garnet, Rose quartz, diopside, spinel) of an enhanced reflective area in the shape of a 4 to 6 ray "star" on the surface of a cabochon cut from the stone. The cabochon cut can be Oval, Round or any other shape.
Gemstones that exhibit special optical phenomena, including asterism (the star effect), chatoyancy (the cat's eye effect), adularescence (shimmering light) and iridescence (the rainbow effect) are categorised as phenomenal gemstones.
Because these phenomenal gems are fairly rare, they naturally attract the attention of rare gems collectors are priced much higher than their normally available counterparts.
As a Gem Blogger, I have visited various gem dealers & collectors but one of the best collection of Unused & Natural Star Ruby I have ever seen is with Mahavir Gems.
One of the most trusted source of Natural Unused gemstones online.

Astrologically too their gemstones are much effective and better result yielding.
