Özet
The corundum is found in the rocks of the Berit metaophiolite in Eastern Anatolia, nearDoğanşehir a province of Malatya. Metaophiolitic rocks consist mainly of garnet metagabbro,granulite, amphibolite, mylonitic amphibolite, garnet amphibolite, amphibole schist,pyroxenite, mylonitic pyroxenite, orthopyroxenite, harzburgite, serpentinized dunite anddiorite units. Corundum occurrences are mostly found in pyroxenites, amphibolites,peridotites and granulites. Their colors change in range between reddish pink, pink andlight pink. They are usually in structure of translucent, vitreous and sometimes cracked.They are seen scattered or clustered together inside the rocks in which they are found.The size of their crystals ranges from 0.5 cm to 10 cm and their euhedral crystals areobserved in pseudohexagonal form. As a result of the petrographic examinations, it wasobserved that pyroxene, amphibole, garnet and plagioclase minerals accompanied with thecorundum. The samples of the rocks containing the corundum has qualifications whichwill be as an object of gemstone and ornament by means of cutting and shining. Largespecimens of corundum can be processed alone. Samples, being as scattered and smallgranules inside the rock can be processed together with the host rock. In the processedsamples, it was obtained patterns like the samples of corundum with zoisite which were ingreat demand in the world gemstonemarket.
