Mining is the extraction of minerals or other materials that are found on various planets, moons, and asteroids to be sold for profit. Mining is done primarily with ship-mounted mining equipment, or with hand-held mining tools; and can be done in open space, on a planet/moon, or underground. Minerals that can be obtained through mining include
THE three works cited below give much new and valuable information concerning the mode of occurrence, the processes of mining, and the uses of corundum. As the mineral is of growing economic value, and is every day finding fresh applications in the arts, it seems desirable to call attention to some of the facts which are for the first time made
The mining techniques for corundum vary based on the location and geological setting. Open-pit mining, tunnel mining, and riverbed alluvial mining are some common methods. The process often requires careful excavation to preserve the quality of the gemstones. The geologic layers hosting corundum deposits vary greatly.

What is corundum and what are its basic qualities?-University
When cut, important qualities of corundum for identification are its mineral and fluid inclusions, low dispersion, high density, and two refractive indices (it is dichroic ). Sapphires are sometimes confused with spinel, kyanite, benitoite, and tanzanite. Rubies are sometimes confused with garnet, tourmaline, and spinel.
