AT GIA LAB FOR REPORT, WILL BE AVAILABLE IN A FEW WEEKS
An exceptional 8.08 carat gray star sapphire from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), completely unheated, with a GIA report in progress. This stone displays a six-rayed asterism — a sharp, silver-white star that crosses the center of the cabochon dome when the stone is illuminated by a single directional light source. The gray body color provides an elegant, sophisticated canvas for the silver star, and at 8.08 carats, the star is visible at full room-length viewing distance. Among the rarest combinations in the phenomenon gemstone market: large size, Ceylon origin, unheated, and GIA documentation.
STAR WILL ONLY BE SEEN UNDER DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR FLASHLIGHT.
Why Choose this 8.08 ct Unheated Ceylon Gray Star Sapphire?
Large gray star sapphires above 5 carats in unheated quality from Ceylon with GIA documentation represent the premium tier of star sapphire collecting. At 8.08 carats, the star has the scale to command any jewelry piece it is set in, and the GIA report — once issued — will confirm the weight, dimensions, treatment status (unheated), and origin. The gray body color creates a contemporary, sophisticated aesthetic that distinguishes this stone from the traditional black star sapphires.
