A popular but erroneous ( with maybe some exceptions for those found in Meteoric rocks, which is very rare) the idea was that Diamonds and Star sapphires were literally ( Heaven-Sent) and came from falling celestial bodies, some even argued the side-effects of the Earth-Grazing Star of Bethlehem- of Yule song fame. Not at all surprising we have STAR sapphires and famous diamonds were often named Star of- and usually the name of a country. The Alaska Packers Association took up this custom with their ships.
