About Ruby: Star rubies are a type of gemstone with a star-shaped inclusion in the center. The star shape is also known as asterism and is caused by light reflecting off different planes within the crystal. This star-shaped pattern can be seen with star sapphires, star garnets, and star emeralds as well. Star rubies gain their name from this characteristic - they have been called "star stones" since ancient times due to this feature.
In addition to being beautiful, star ruby gemstones have been associated with good luck for centuries! In fact, most people believe that if you wear one on your right hand's ring finger it will bring you prosperity and happiness throughout your life.
