Locality: India
Description: These Star Garnet spheres from India display deep reddish-brown to dark wine-colored tones with subtle reflective inclusions that can produce a faint star-like effect under direct light. The polished sphere shape emphasizes the stone’s natural luster and internal structure, creating a smooth, evenly colored display piece.
Star garnets are a rare variety of garnet that exhibit asterism due to needle-like mineral inclusions aligned within the crystal structure. While most famous deposits occur in Idaho, similar material is also found in India. Garnet has been used in jewelry and ornamentation for thousands of years and is valued both as a gemstone and as an industrial abrasive.
