Asterism

Asterism is celestial-like phenomenon often called a "star".  

It's seen as intersecting lines of light that form a four or six rayed star pattern of light just below the surface of a crystal or stone. They can occasionally be found in Garnets, Rose Quartz, Rubies etc.  

The star is caused by reflections of tiny parallel rod-shaped rutile inclusions within the stone, known as a "silk."
