EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases an enchanting collection of ruby and sapphire cut corundum stones, displayed against a simple white background to highlight their vibrant coloration and mesmerizing beauty. Corundum, the second hardest natural mineral known, is a member of the corundum group and the hematite group in the oxide mineral family. The stones' stunning variation in hue, from deep red rubies to brilliant blue sapphires, is a result of trace amounts of elements such as chromium, titanium, and iron impurities within their crystal structure. The intricate faceting of the stones, as seen through their pavilions, enhances their ability to glitter and sparkle, reflecting light in a myriad of ways. The toughness and resistance of corundum make it an ideal material for creating durable and long-lasting gemstones. Each stone in this collection showcases its unique character, with no two stones being exactly alike. This studio shot invites us to appreciate the natural beauty and variation of these precious gems, reminding us of the wonders that can be found in the mineral world. The image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of corundum, a mineral that continues to captivate and inspire us with its rich colors and resilient nature.
