Corundum Ore

 is an ore used to smelt into ingots. It is used to make corundum ingots at a smelter. Smelting it together with iron ore produces steel ingots.

Corundum Ore Veins
Corundum ore veins can be mined with a pickaxe. Each vein, when mined, has a chance to produce a precious gem. The ores in the mines respawn after one month, Skyrim time, while ores found outdoors generally respawn after ten days.
