日本京都的 Kyocera 公司目前正销售一种品名为“Inamori”的半透明的显现星芒的合成红宝石。除具有明显的内部特征和在紫外线照射下出现较强的荧光之外,这种合成材料显示的所有其它宝石学性质都基本上与现有的天然星光红宝石相似。对大多数没有使用精密试验仪器的宝石商来说,Kyocera 公司合成星光红宝石的内部特征通常是唯一可靠的识别这种新产品的标志。 Kyocera, Kyoto, Japan, is currently selling a synthetic ruby ​​that is a translucent starburst named “Inamori.” Except for obvious internal features and strong fluorescence under UV irradiation, all other gemmological properties exhibited by this composite material are essentially similar to those of existing natural Star Ruby. For most gem marketers who do not use sophisticated test equipment, the internal features of Kyocera’s synthetic star ruby ​​are often the only signs of reliable identification of this new product.
