Star sapphires were considered sacred by followers of Callarduran Smoothhands, Corellon Larethian, Deneir, Gaerdal Ironhand, and Luthic-appropriate for sacrifice, or to be consecrated for use, or recognized as boons or omens when found. A typical specimen had a base value of 5,000 gp or 1,000 gp depending on market conditions.
About one in a thousand sapphires was a star sapphire. Star sapphires were more opaque than regular gem-quality sapphires. Asterism is a reflective optical effect that highlights a white six-pointed star on the surface of cabochon-cut stones.
