*CLOSEOUT* Crushed Ruby (Corundum) Powder from India, 4 Ounces, Fine Crush, Powder Size <0.25mm

 Our "Closeout Corner" consists of leftover material from our regular stock that has some imperfections. This is due to natural factors such as: color variations, the presence of host rock, the presence of other auxiliary minerals, and/or staining due to natural weathering processes. Closeout crushed material is offered at a discount price and is a great option for makers who prefer a more rustic look with natural variation.

▏ABOUT ⧫ RUBY▕

Ruby, also known as corundum, is one of the hardest minerals with a Moh's hardness of 9. Corundum comes in a variety of colors, but the most well known types of corundum are ruby and sapphire. The difference between these two minerals is that ruby has more chromium than sapphire, giving it a reddish-purple hue. This particular batch of closeout ruby powder has a light mauve hue. Ruby is also the official birthstone for July.

▏MATERIAL ⧫ SIZE▕

Our powdered material consists of mostly silt and clay sized particles (<0.25mm). Our powders do have a slight grit to them. This size is great for small cracks or voids, memorial and resin jewelry, textured paints and pigments, orgonite pyramids, ring inlay, resin molds, bezel cups, resin art, and metaphysical projects. This material is also a great gift for makers looking for unique supplies.
