Lone Star Cut
Notice the shape of the stone. This unusual cut was devised to create the star shape in the stone. The stone is about 2mm deeper than a diamond cut stone. The star is dark on a clear background and has an almost "ruffled" edge. The Lone Star Cut is time consuming to create and is therefore a more expensive cut than the Texas Star Cut described below.

Texas Star Cut
A variety of gemstones come in the Texas Star Cut. The line from the edge to the bottom of the stone is straight. The star is light against a darker background and the edge has fewer facets. This cut is more common and takes less time to cut than the Lone Star cut.
