Is there such a thing as a star carnelian?

[blackroseivy]

...Because I have a stone that a whole bunch of people INSISTED was either a star sapphire, or a star ruby, & I am positive that it is neither! It was something more unusual, I just don't remember what from back when I bought it - star carnelian sounds like the most likely thing, though. I'll post a pic when I am home (not on my own computer for a few days).

until you get back to your computer could you perhaps describe the stone for us?

[lightdragon]

yeah, what the woman monster said.

[blackroseivy]

Hard to describe it - it is kinda a caramel color with slightly lilac undertones when the light strikes it; + it has a star. It was sold as a "natural" star, too.

Hang on, let me V my flash - I DO have a pic that I "kaleidescoped" of it, which may or may not help.

[blackroseivy]

Nah, I V'd that image & it is just WAY too pinkish - makes it look like a ruby which I KNOW it isn't. I enhanced the color, it came out lovely but NOT true to the stone.

Stay tuned... ;)

I've never heard of one either, which is why I'm so curious to see this photo and try to figure out what the heck it is. :lol:
