Hi Megan! I just watched all your videos, they are so good-- and super informative!! I had a question; I've been a fan of black star sapphires for a long time (especially ones with a golden yellow star in them) but I'm curious about why they seem to run the gamut on pricing. Some jewelers I buy them from will almost give them to me for free, whereas a similar sized one might be valued at $600-$1000 on some websites and other jewelers. Why do they seem to be so polarized in price? I've asked gemologists before whether black star sapphires are typically lab grown, so I'm just not sure why the price is so broad.
Also-- on stones with asterism in general. Can all sapphires be cut into a star sapphire? Or does it require a particular inclusion to do so?

Thank you so much! I'm also very fond of star sapphires! I will be covering them off in a video soon, but yes, it is very common for them to have a very wide range of prices. They can definitely be lab-grown and natural stones can also be glass-filled, but unfortunately this isn't always disclosed. There are also a lot of other value factors which can greatly affect their price:
- how saturated and even the body colour is (is it a true black or more brown/grey)
- how crisp and centred the star is and how nicely it rolls across the stone
- how many rays does the star have
- quality of cut (is the cabochon even, symmetrical, well-polished etc)
Lastly, star sapphires are very rare because their stars are formed from parallel sets of rutile silk inclusions. When this is found, the sapphire will be cut as a cabochon so the star can be seen. Happy hunting! Thanks for your question and stay tuned!

But how do you know the difference between an “upside-down triangle” and one that right-side up?
