In our opinion, the star sapphire is of strong blue colour, with moderate asterism (star effect) upon spot lighting. Under 10x loupe, there are needle inclusions and a few tiny surface reaching feathers which are close to side and not noticeable. Tapered diamonds together weighing approximately 0.55 carat, are about G to H colours, VS clarity.
