The Star Sapphire is a mystical gemstone that houses and channels the violet energy of the alien Zamarons.
History
Its 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 used as handheld weapons.
Eventually Carol Ferris was granted the gem to become Star Sapphire, but she was defeated by Green Lantern.[1] Afterwards, the gem was taken to the Metropolis Museum along with a replica of the Star Sapphire costume. The gem was accidentally picked by Lois Lane, which allowed Carol to find it and take it back.[2]
Following the Zamarons' realization that the Star Sapphire was uncontrollable, they converted the gem into a Violet Central Power Battery to fuel the rings of the Star Sapphire Corps.
