It is more than four hundred and fifty feet across. You can see it from another country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt went up first as a Christmas display, put there by the local electric company and lit for the season. The city liked it enough to keep it, and over the decades the star stopped being a decoration and became an institution - lit year-round now, with the dates that matter to El Paso marked by how and when it burns. It has been lit for mourning, for homecomings, for the end of a long year. On a clear night it is visible for miles across the desert and across the Rio Grande into Ciudad Juarez.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery city has landmarks. Very few have one that only exists after dark, that requires somebody to decide, every night, to switch it on. The Star is not a building. It is a choice the city keeps making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted on a three-inch faceted crystal glass round, white-backed so the heavy black mountain holds and the star's warm gold points glow like the real thing on a lit tree. The faceted edge throws light from any angle. Arrives boxed - white or gold gift box, your choice at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the El Pasoan far from home, the one who looks for the star first when driving back into the valley. On a tree it is, quite literally, a star.
