I think it’s a star sapphire?

I posted this in the antique forum before I thought to post here. This was found on EBay looking for moonstone but it has a six ray star that moves depending on the light. I’m pretty sure it’s a star sapphire but wanted to get some expert input: TIA!

not saying it isn't a pink star sapphire, but it reminds me of rose quartz, which when cut in cabochon can exhibit asterism

It’s pretty! Can’t say if it’s a star sapphire. As Mary said there are some other gems that show asterism.

@marymm @Dreamer_D thanks for your thoughts, maybe I’ll get it looked at but just wanted to see what folks here thought, I know identifying gemstones through pictures is not really possible. Still it’s pretty and I’m happy with it whatever it ends up as.
