    |  |     | Chemical properties: 
      corundum is composed of pure alumina; its colouring is due to metallic |   | oxide traces or inclusions. The color of sapphire, due to iron and titanium oxide, gives its best |   |    | effect under daylight.  Electric light makes it often dark. |   | Gems are generally found in alluvium, but come either from basaltic slags, or from metamorphized
            marble. |  |   |  |     |  |   |  | 2.31 cts. Natural
