The
Verneuil method
(or
Verneuil process
or
Verneuil technique
), also called
flame fusion
, was the first commercially successful method of manufacturing synthetic
gemstones
, developed in the late 1883
[1]
by the
French
chemist
Auguste Verneuil
. It is primarily used to produce the
ruby
,
sapphire
and padparadscha varieties of
corundum
, as well as the
diamond simulants
rutile
and
strontium titanate
. The principle of the process involves melting a finely powdered substance using an
oxyhydrogen
flame, and crystallising the melted droplets into a
boule
. The process is considered to be the founding step of modern industrial
crystal growth
technology, and remains in wide use to this day.
