Corundum is a rare ore in Star Citizen, mined from ship rocks at 7 locations in Stanton and Nyx, most richly at Aberdeen, Arial, Hurston, Magda and Ita. It comes mainly in Corundum rocks (34–90% of the rock), at quality 395–1000, and sells for up to 4,400 aUEC per SCU.
| Rock | Corundum share | Resistance | Instability | Signature | Cluster | Found on |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 34.0–90.0% | ≈3% | STABLE | 4,225 | 4–6 | Moon · 2 | |
| 5.0–10.0% | ≈0% | STABLE | 4,285 | 4–6 | Moon, Planet, Asteroid Belt · 7 |
The scanner shows a cluster as the sum of its rocks, so a reading here means this many rocks of that type. Other ores' rocks can land on the same number — check it in the signal calculator.
One recommendation per ship: easiest handling with enough power for your scan.
Enter the scan values and press Suggest loadouts.
Suggestions must overcome charge decay with sustained power, without relying on a temporary active boost. Leave resistance blank to use this rock type's estimated typical resistance (≈3%); enter the scanned value for your rock. Listed active modules must be firing and the recommended gadget applied to reach the boosted limit. These are estimates from game data. Rocks beyond single-head capacity show crewed options only.
Corundum spawns at 7 locations in Stanton and Nyx. The richest are Aberdeen, Arial, Hurston, Magda and Ita. It grows in Aluminum rocks and Corundum rocks.
Corundum sells for up to 4,400 aUEC per refined SCU at the best-paying terminal, from Motherlode's price data. Prices move between patches, so check the price table before you sell.
Corundum spawns with a quality between 395 and 1000 out of 1000, depending on the location and rock. Higher quality Corundum is worth more when you sell or craft with it.
Levski (+8%), CRU-L1 (+7%) and Pyro Gateway (Stanton) (+7%) pay the highest yield bonus on Corundum. 7 stations in total have a bonus on it.
It depends on your ship and the rock. This page recommends a laser, modules and gadget for the Prospector, Golem and MOLE (solo or fully crewed) against Corundum rocks, with Max mass, Balanced and Easiest options and a difficulty rating for each.
