<p>[QUOTE="Bdigger, post: 8152, member: 157"]Black Tourmaline COULD....but it SHOULDN'T. It could also likely be black sapphire.That would be my second guess. The lines are what would cause a Star in a black saphirre if they were aligned properly. It's gives the stone what they call Chatoyance. Look at some Natural Star Sapphires on eBay and you will see the lines. The more I think about it, the more I think your stones are sapphire.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
