Asteriated diamonds are among the rarest and most visually intriguing diamonds in existence. Their signature feature? Hydrogen cloud inclusions that create starburst-like shapes, triangles, or other striking internal patterns.
One of the most famous examples is the "Rhodesian Star," a 3.70-carat diamond graded by GIA as fancy brownish greenish yellow. What sets it apart is an extraordinary hydrogen cloud inclusion in the exact shape of a six-legged star.
The star inside the Rhodesian Star isnāt just visible in daylightāit also fluoresces a vivid green under long-wave UV light, making the gem appear almost supernatural.
Because of their intense rarity and one-of-a-kind internal features, asteriated diamonds like the Rhodesian Star are highly prized among collectors and gem enthusiasts alike.
