Black Star Diopside - Ovals

Discover the celestial drama of Black Star Diopside, a captivating gemstone often called the "Black Star of India." Each highly polished oval cabochon displays a unique and remarkable phenomenon: a sharp, white four-pointed star (known as asterism) that appears to float against the deep, inky black surface when viewed under a single light source. This visual effect, caused by microscopic, needle-like inclusions within the stone, makes it an extraordinary choice for rings, pendants, and statement earrings.

The high-domed cabochon cut is specifically designed to maximize the brilliance and visibility of the star, ensuring your finished piece has a truly mesmerizing focal point.
