Yes Greenland has Rubies and Sapphires - The Raccoon

Greenland has some nice rubies and sapphires and they are some of the oldest in the world. The colors of the corundum mined there tend to be in the pink to red color spectrum due to the geology and how the crystals were formed. They would look great in jewelry I think, but that is not the only reason you should consider using them in a design.A Norwegian company set up a ruby mine in Greenland and has mined some nice stones for the jewelry trade. In this show I explain how micro-fractures in the stones are "healed" to improve their appearance in jewelry and how this is now an accepted practice in the industry and how borax flux healing is used on Greenland rubies.I discuss about how there may be a way to leverage the current political winds to market jewelry gemstones from Greenland and diamonds from Canada to a world tired of America.I talk about the raccoon who tried to hang on inside a tree trunk as the tree was being taken down around him and how this feels just like our world today. I describe the difference between downtown Toronto raccoons and normal Canadian raccoons and how I hope to turn part of the property into a chainsaw-carved sculpture garden.Rubies from Greenland:https://www.greenlandruby.gl/TRIBE – Custom Made Sterling Silver Trophy Belt Buckles and Jewelry – Product of Canadahttps://tribe.caSend an email to [email protected] to get on our mailing list or to order custom jewelry products from TRIBE.The Cannabis Goldsmith is an Art & Design podcast produced by TRIBE COMMUNICATIONS INC. in Ontario, Upper Canada. © and ℗ 2025 Alex DordevicTRIBE is a registered trademark
