The star garnet is the rarest form of garnet. It was discovered only in Idaho and in India. The star effect is best seen by looking straight down at the stone. The star effect in most star garnet gemstones is subtle and requires the correct lighting to be seen clearly. The best lighting is direct sunlight. However, a light source such as a narrow beam halogen spotlight or small flashlight will also work. It is the best present for a couple who are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary.
