This specimen is a red variety of corundum (Al₂O₃), colored by trace amounts of chromium that produce its distinctive ruby tone and vivid red fluorescence under ultraviolet light. While gem-quality ruby represents the transparent form of this mineral, this piece showcases the same composition and glowing energy in a natural crystalline state. Corundum ranks 9 on the Mohs hardness scale and is found in metamorphic and igneous environments worldwide.
