Synthetic red corundum
Synthetic red corundum, commonly known as synthetic ruby, is a man-made gemstone that mimics the properties of natural ruby.
It is composed of aluminum oxide and chromium, which gives it its red color.
Synthetic red corundum is synthesized by various methods and is popular because of its affordability and versatility.
Synthetic red corundum is made in the laboratory using techniques such as the Verneuil process (flame fusion), flux growth, and hydrothermal synthesis.
Developed in the early 20th century, the Verneuil process involves melting a mixture of fine powders of aluminum oxide and chromium oxide with a hydrogen and oxygen flame.
The molten droplets crystallize as they cool, forming a block of synthetic ruby.
This method is cost-effective and produces high-quality gemstones with properties that are nearly identical to natural ruby.

✦ Gemstone Details And Uses ✦
One of the most common uses of synthetic red corundum is in jewelry. Compared to natural rubies, synthetic rubies are more affordable, making them more popular among the general public.
Synthetic rubies are used in rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, and are often set in fine and fashion jewelry.
Their vivid colors and excellent durability (a Mohs hardness of 9) make them ideal for everyday wear.
Synthetic red corundum can also be cut into a variety of shapes and sizes, giving jewelers creative flexibility.
In the watchmaking industry, synthetic red corundum is widely used due to its hardness and wear resistance.
Ruby bearings made from synthetic rubies are used in the movements of mechanical watches to reduce friction and wear on metal parts.
These bearings ensure the accuracy and longevity of watches, making synthetic rubies an important part of the watch industry.
Synthetic red corundum has important industrial applications in addition to jewelry and watchmaking. One prominent use is in the production of lasers.
Ruby lasers, which use synthetic ruby rods, were one of the first lasers developed and are still used today in various fields such as medicine, manufacturing, and scientific research.
The coherent light produced by ruby lasers is essential for tasks requiring precision and control.
