Star sapphires are most commonly seen in blue and black colored sapphires, although they can be present in almost any shade.

Star sapphires with a royal blue/cornflower blue color displaying a sharp star are very rare to find. Such stones are an excellent choice for engagement rings since they represent uniqueness and are one-of-a-kind. Blue star sapphires are primarily found in Burma, Sri Lanka, Australia, and Madagascar.

Another notable color is black star sapphire with a golden star. These stones are generally found in India and Thailand.
