EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, two exquisite specimens of the mineral corundum, specifically ruby and sapphire, take center stage. Corundum is a crystalline form of aluminum oxide, a mineral that forms under high temperatures and pressures. The ruby and sapphire are not only beautiful gems but also fascinating examples of the natural world's intricate mineralogical processes. The ruby, with its vibrant red hue, is a prized gemstone known for its rich color and rarity. The red color is caused by the presence of chromium impurities in the crystal structure. The ruby on display here is a stunning example of the mineral's beauty, with its rich red hue and flawless crystal structure. The sapphire, on the other hand, is a blue variety of corundum. It is prized for its deep blue color, which can range from light blue to a rich, royal blue. The sapphire in this photograph is a fine example of the mineral's beauty, with its clear, blue crystal structure and brilliant luster. The photograph also features a collection of smaller crystals, including the Edwardes ruby. This metal-included ruby is named after the person who discovered it, and it is a rare and valuable gemstone due to its unique inclusion of metal crystals within the ruby crystal structure. This photograph is a stunning representation of the beauty and complexity of the corundum mineral group, which also includes other gemstones such as hematite and titanium oxide. The intricate crystal structures and vibrant colors of these gems make them a source of fascination for mineralogists, gemologists, and collectors alike. Whether admired for their aesthetic value or their scientific significance, rubies and sapphires continue to captivate and inspire us with their beauty and rarity.
