Hello List

I am in academia and am interested in doing a reseach project on the effect of certain impurities on synthetic flame fution ruby and sapphires. Ideally, I would like to set up a collaboration with a vendor / manufacturer who has the capabilities of producing flame fusion ruby and sapphires. Any thoughts on how I would go about locating a manufacturer? I live in New York city and would prefer to collaborate with a manufacturer in the U.S. if at all possible.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Best wishes,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,

You may try Morion company. I don't believe they manufacture anything, but import just about everything synthetic under the sun.

Try their contact link with your question. They may be able to steer you in the proper path. Hope you like Russia in the summer. Winter would be a bummer.

Hi JB

Wow, thanks. This company seems to be capable at locating just about anything. I have sent them an email and will contact them tomorrow.

While I dont mind Russia it would be great to be able to establish a research agreement with someone / vendor in the U.S. If there are any other possiblities out there I certainly would appreciate your comments on them.

Thanks again.
Ravi

Out of curiosity, would anyone know how much it would cost to set up the basic facility for producing FF?

And as far as I know, there are a couple of different methods, but do all producers use the same chemical recipe?
