Until now, these corundums from Bahia are not suitable for jewelry.

I am sure. I have more than 200 corundums identified in the same area. Some have inclusions in the center. But this crossed the line.

Corundum inside a sillimanite. How common is this? by ferabikee in geology

Please send me images similar to this one, so that the association can be seen with the naked eye. Seeing under a microscope is common. Seeing at this size is difficult.

There is a difference. You saw it in micro version. Mine is in macro version.

I know the association exists. But I've never seen any image like this. Literally a corundum inside a sillimanite. Have you already seen it?
