EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning collection of corundum variety ruby crystals and gem specimens. Corundum is a mineral composed primarily of aluminum oxide (Al2O3), which exists in two major varieties: ruby and sapphire. The ruby specimens in this image display their vibrant red hue, caused by traces of chromium impurities within the crystal structure. The crystals in this photograph are showcased against a contrasting background, allowing their intricate shapes and unique facets to be admired. The ruby gems, on the other hand, are expertly cut to maximize their brilliance and display their rich, red coloration to its fullest extent. Corundum is a part of the larger mineral group known as the corundum group and is also related to the hematite group. Native metals, such as iron, titanium, and vanadium, can sometimes be found inclusions within corundum crystals, adding to their intrigue and value. Ruby, as a gemstone, is highly prized for its beauty and rarity. It is the birthstone for July and has been admired for its rich, red color and durability for centuries. The ruby's allure transcends cultures and has been featured in numerous legends and folktales throughout history. This photograph serves as a testament to the natural beauty and complexity of the mineral world, showcasing the captivating allure of corundum variety ruby crystals and gems.
