The most expensive Sapphire is a very rare Stellar Sapphire.
There is a legend about its appearance on the Earth. Once upon a time when on Ceylon there were impassable tropical forests with blossoming acacias, baobabs and evergreen coconut palm trees, there lived a young man by name Dzhampal. He was so handsome, that women and girls were afraid to look at him. Dzhampal was a hunter. For hunting, his fellows took with them bows and arrows with the tips poisoned by snake poison, but Dzhampal was content with a boomerang. One day he decided to spend the night in the forest. But he could not sleep because a small asterisk twinkled over his head. The asterisk was so beautiful that Dzhampal fell in love with it. Now every evening he came to the same place and admired the asterisk. When at dawn the sky became dark blue the asterisk descended so low, that almost touched Dzhampal’s curly hair, and the young man whispered:
“Listen, a pre-dawn asterisk, be my guiding star”.
But the asterisk answered nothing and disappeared in a fog... The next evening Dzhampal came back to and discovered His lovely asterisk shining at him. Suddenly a black goat with a white spot on a forehead jumped out from a bush. The hunter threw the boomerang at him, but the goat turned his head and uttered a blaring roar. A whirlwind came off its spiral horns. It picked up a boomerang and begun to whirl it in air, lifting it higher and higher. High up in the sky, the boomerang struck a dark blue dome and chopped off a part of it together with the asterisk. When the piece of dome fell on the ground, it has been broken up into smithereens. One of the splinters fell toward Dzhampal ‘s legs. The young man picked it up. In a splinter of the dome which turned into Sapphire, his majestic asterisk was shining with a bright light.
That was a stellar sapphire.
