THE astoria.

Interesting Data Abous the Magic
Star Gem of Ceylon.
Familiar to some OF the ancient
writers and credited with supernatural
powers, the astoria, OF star gem, was
highly valued for the benefits sup
posed to be conferred on the wearer.
Its bright six rayed star, ever chang
ing and shifting with every play OF
light and especially shooting out it's
flames In the direct sunlight, would
seem to be something more than an
ordinary crystal, and to- the superstI-
;Hous mind it could readily be believed
to- enibody some t1teiart spirit. The
particular virtue attributed to this gem
was the comforting upon the wearer Of
Health and good fortune when worn
as an amulet and to those fortunate.
To be born Ia the month Of: April, with
which the stone was associated or rep
resented, the wearer was insured from
all evil. The star stone is found prin-
cipally, In Ceylon, invariably in soil
peculiar to- rubfes and sapphires. In.
deed It is composed Of the same con-.
stituenF 'scofundum," It's chatoyant, or
star rays, being caused by the pres.
sure Of what the natives call silk
It Is found iii many different colors
from pale blue. pink and white to deep
dark blue, ruby and purple. The blue
are termed sapphire stars the, red

caboclfoi the star dividing Into six
rays at tho apex. It is next In hard
ness to the diamond.
