<h3 style="margin:8px 0;">Item Description</h3>
<p style="margin:4px 0 12px 0; line-height:1.6;">
A rare and beautiful <strong>natural no-heat Black Star Sapphire</strong> from Thailand. This 9.73 ct specimen displays a sharp, symmetrical <strong>6-ray star</strong> that is clearly visible under direct lighting. The stone has been expertly shaped as a high-domed cabochon and finely polished to present strong luster and a distinct star effect. Natural internal silk (rutile) creates the asterism; inclusions are typical and are part of what makes this a genuine collector's gem.

<h3 style="margin:8px 0;">Star Visibility & Photo Note</h3>
<p style="margin:4px 0 12px 0; line-height:1.6;">
<strong>Photos taken:</strong> The images provided were taken in <strong>direct sunlight</strong> and under <strong>indoor lighting</strong> (ambient/room light). You will notice the star is visible and well-defined in these conditions. Please note: asterism appears strongest under a single, concentrated light source (e.g., a small LED or spotlight) — however, the star on this stone is excellent and clearly shows in sunlight and typical indoor lighting as pictured. If you would like, I can also provide a short video demonstrating the star movement under a point light.

<h3 style="margin:8px 0;">Why This Stone Is Special</h3>
