Corundum has the chemical formula Al 2 O 3. Pure corundum is rare in nature, and is completely colourless. Small amounts of metallic elements such as Cr, Fe and Ti can substitute for aluminum in the structure, which gives rise to many colour variations. Some corundum even owes its colour to irradiation, or the elements vanadium, cobalt or nickel.
