Corundum
Corundum has two primary gem varieties: Ruby and Sapphire. Rubies are red due to the presence of chromium, and sapphires exhibit a range of colors depending on what transition metal is present.
Corundum is a crystalline form of aluminum oxide typically containing traces of iron, titanium, vanadium, and chromium. It is a rock-forming mineral. It is a naturally transparent material but can have different colors depending on the presence of transition metal impurities in its crystalline structure.
