That's wild. I bet the first person to polish one up was blown away.

I always find it crazy that someone even thought to polish it in the first place.

Immediate upvote. Thanks.

Edit: I realize the polished stone is actually a star diopside. Real star sapphires have 6 rays, while diopside has 4. Title revised.
