Ukushintsha umbala weSapphire ku-Corundum ungokoqobo, uzovela ngemibala ehlukene ekukhanyeni okuhlukene, owaziwa nangokuthi i-corundum eshintsha umbala noma igugu lombala, ukuguqulwa kombala kulindeleke ukuthi kubangelwe isici se-chrome ku-corundum.
Izici ezihlukanisayo zemvelo kanye ne-SyntheticAmasafire aluhlaza asika i-protolith eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka okumnyama ukuze abonise umbala ohlukahlukene oluhlaza noma ohlaza okwesibhakabhaka-oluhlaza ngaphambili, bese kwakheka amasafire emvelo aluhlaza.
Owolintshi, uchungechunge alunambala, lubonisa ngale, lucwebezela njengengilazi, ubulukhuni 9, amandla adonsela phansi athile 4.016, {0001}, {10 ˉ 10} Cleavage.[1]
Isafire ebomvu ebomvu: ngaphambili, umphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe oyigugu wawukholelwa ukuthi i-corundum kuphela enokujula okuphakathi ukuya kokubomvu okumnyama noma okubomvu okunsomi kungabizwa ngokuthi irubi.Lezo ezishintsha ukukhanya okubomvu kube ukukhanya kakhulu zibizwa ngamasafire aphinki.
I-Gem eboshwe zonke izinhlobo ze-gem grade corundum ngale kwerubi zibizwa ngesafire.Igama lamaminerali eSapphire le-corundum, amaminerali eqembu le-corundum.
Isafire ephuzi yaziwa nangokuthi itopazi ebhizinisini.Izinhlobonhlobo ze-corundum yezinga eliyigugu eliphuzi.Umbala uhluka ukusuka kophuzi ngokukhanyayo kuye kophuzi e-canary, ophuzi osagolide, ophuzi wezinyosi nophuzi onsundu ngokukhanyayo, okuphuzi okusagolide kube kuhle kakhulu.Okuphuzi ngokuvamile kuhlotshaniswa nokuba khona kwe-iron oxide.
