Abstract
SOME years ago we discovered specimens of kornerupine in mixed parcels of typical cut Ceylon gem-stones, and this prompted us to search for the mineral in gem gravel concentrates kindly sent to u direct from Ceylon by Mr. Hans Van Starrex. From the first lot of rough so examined, which consisted mostly of green zircons, two small pieces of kornerupine were recovered, so that yet another species must be added to the already long list of gem minerals found in the Ceylon gravels.
