Rose Quartz Star Orb
About the Item
This Rose Quartz Orb is about 2.25 inches in diameter and displays a lovely star in the correct orientation. This Orb is a substantial collectors piece as asterism in Quartz is rare. This piece originates from the Minas Gerias region of Brazil and aside from cutting and polishing has undergone no treatments and is completely natural.
Asterism in gemstones refers to a phenomenon where a star-like pattern appears on the surface of a gemstone when it is cut and polished. This effect is caused by the presence of needle-like inclusions within the gemstone, such as rutile or hematite. When light hits these inclusions, it is reflected in a way that creates a star-shaped pattern. The most famous example of asterism is seen in star sapphires, where a six-rayed star can be seen when the stone is viewed under a single light source. Other gemstones that can exhibit asterism include star rubies, star garnets, star diopside and even quartz. It's a fascinating optical phenomenon that adds a unique and beautiful touch to gemstones.

Kary Adam
Originally from San Diego, California, Kary Adam lived in the “Gem Capital of the World” - Bangkok, Thailand, sourcing local gem stones and working with local Metal Smiths on his designs from 2001 until August 2015. He now lives and works from Seattle Washington and make frequent trips to Thailand where he continues to source stones and execute most of his custom jewelry work.
His relationship with Gems and Jewelry started in 1997 when he took a trip to Asia and stopped in Bangkok for 2 weeks. While he was there, he bought a 23kt Thai gold necklace, something he had wanted since he was 14 years old and seen at a gem show in San Diego. On his first day back to work from that Asia trip, seven co-workers asked him to sell them his gold necklace. This gave him the idea that he should supply them with what they had asked for. Three months later he was back in Bangkok and bought more Thai Gold Jewelry and several loose Sapphires. This led to several years of traveling back and forth, buying and learning about gemstones and gold, designing and having jewelry made, and selling the jewelry he had made in Bangkok back in the USA and the UK. In July of 2001, he moved to Bangkok to study Gemology graduating with a degree in Gemology from the Asian Institute of Gemological Science. He also taught gemology classes for 2 years before focusing only on design and production. He continues his passion for designing Unique Beautiful Custom Jewelry and he has been doing this ever since.
