    Description

    The
    Verneuil method
    (or
    Verneuil process
    or
    Verneuil technique
    ), also called
    flame fusion
    , was the first commercially successful method of manufacturing synthetic
    gemstones
    , developed in the late 1883
    [1]
    by the
    French
    chemist
    Auguste Verneuil
    . It is primarily used to produce the
    ruby
    ,
    sapphire
    and padparadscha varieties of
    corundum
    , as well as the
    diamond simulants
    rutile
    and
    strontium titanate
    . The principle of the process involves melting a finely powdered substance using an
    oxyhydrogen
    flame, and crystallising the melted droplets into a
    boule
    . The process is considered to be the founding step of modern industrial
    crystal growth
    technology, and remains in wide use to this day.
    Corundum
    has two primary gem varieties:
    ruby
    and sapphire. ... Because of
    corundum's hardness
    (pure
    corundum
    is defined to have 9.0 on the Mohs scale), it can scratch almost every other mineral. It is commonly used as an abrasive on everything from sandpaper to large tools used in machining metals, plastics, and wood.
