Corundum is the second-hardest mineral after diamond and occurs in a wide variety of colors. Sapphire is any form of corundum that is not red as red varieties are called rubies. Sapphires can be formed in crystalline limestone gneiss schist and other crystalline rocks. Gem varieties occur chiefly in placer (river gravel) deposits.

Before Meteorites There Were Minerals AMNH
Before Meteorites There Were Minerals. The solar system began as a hot swirling cloud of dust and vapor. Over 4.6 billion years later you stand on a dynamic rocky planet called Earth. Meteorites represent the early steps on the journey from particles to planets—but before meteorites the vapor and dust cooled condensed and formed minerals. The Virtual Museum of Minerals and Molecules (VMMM) is a web-based resource presenting interactive 3-D research-grade molecular models of more than 150 minerals and molecules of interest to chemical earth plant and environmental sciences. User interactivity with the 3-D display allows models to be rotated zoomed and specific regions of interest to be highlighted.
