The Star Sapphire is a mystical gemstone that houses and channels the violet energy of the alien Zamarons. It's abilities and mechanics are similar in function to that of a Green Lantern Ring. However, whereas the Green Lantern Ring channeled willpower, the Star Sapphire channeled love, one of the energies of the emotional electromagnetic spectrum which most influences the wielder. Each host who assumed the name Star Sapphire also took charge of the gemstone, which was traditionally adorned upon their headpiece. Some versions of the Star Sapphire have also been utilized as handheld weapons.
