Corundum white - an unusual variety of mineral

In fact, corundum is not called a single mineral, but a whole group of gems, the varieties of which include such gems as ruby, sapphire, padparadscha and others. However, among all this splendor, there is another crystal from the same group - white corundum, which is distinguished by its pure snow-white hue and special properties.

Description

It should be noted right away that white corundum is almost never used as an insert in jewelry. It is more used in industry or for technical needs. This is understandable, because it is much more expedient to use gems from the same group, but more significant in their essence, for example, the same ruby ​​or sapphire.

Corundum is a crystalline alumina. If the composition of the mineral does not include any additional impurities that are responsible for the shade of the stone, then this is considered a classic sample, which is painted exclusively in white. If, however, such substances as titanium, iron, manganese, chromium are present as impurity elements in the composition of the crystal, then these are completely different stones, painted in a variety of shades: red, blue, pink, orange and others.

In fact, all varieties of the corundum group have similar characteristics. These include:

• high hardness - 9 on the Mohs scale;
• glassy or matte luster, depending on growth conditions;
• it can be transparent, translucent, opaque;
• fragile;
• cleavage is very imperfect or absent altogether.

• India;
• USA;
• Sri Lanka;
• Thailand.
