Where does the name "Korundi" come from?

Korundi was named through a name contest. Korundi (corundum) is a mineral found in Lapland, known as the second hardest mineral in the world. Corundum stones include rubies and sapphires, among others. The highest quality corundum stones have been found in Lapland. A star formation can be produced in a corundum by grinding and polishing the stone, which is why they are also called “Stars of Lapland”.

Mika Junna, designer of Korundi’s logo ‘Rytmi’ (Rhythm):

“Rhythm is one of the most important elements in both art and music. The turquoise colour used in the logo is seen to represent creativity and renewal in colour psychology. The colour is also often present in jewels, which creates a link to the word ‘korundi’, i.e. corundum.”
