Refractory: A material with a high melting point, which makes it useful as a barrier between the heat source and a material that you don't want to melt, like the sides of an oven, etc..
Investment: A refractory material used to surround a disposable pattern, as of wax, and act as a mold for receiving metal which fills the cavities of the eliminated pattern.

Jeweler: A merchant who sells diamonds, other gemstones and jewelry.
The Colouring and Working of the Refractory Metals Titanium, Niobium and Tantalum for Jewellery and Allied Applications. Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths Design and Technology Committee Project No, 35: Refractory Metals. Project Report No. 35/1.
and European refractories industry had a crisis in 2000-2003, with an indifferent market for steel and a declining refractory consumption per tonne of steel underlying firm buyouts and many plant closings.
Since it a refractory in nature it can reacts with oxygen producing changes on the metal's surface .When a electric current is passed through the surface it forces oxygen to produce thick oxide layer and diffused white light produces stunning colors.
The Earth accreted from these early solid particles called chondrules, and these refractory elements are enriched in the Earth relative to their abundance in the Sun.
An investment compound is a refractory material (it can withstand extreme heat) which is slightly porous (so that gases from molten metal can escape) and can be formed into a mold (which will be used in metal casting).
Zircon: A common mineral occurring in small crystals which is heated, cut, and polished to form a brilliant blue-white gem used as a refractory when opaque and as a gemstone when transparent.. They are not man made stones like cubic zirconia are.
crucible - a vessel made of a refractory material such as silica or carbon in which metals are melted. They are available in varying shapes and sizes for different purposes.

Overview: The name 'Enstatite' comes from the Greek "Enstates" which means "An Opponent" referring to its refractory nature.It is composed of Magnesium Silicate.
The cake was heated to redness in a charcoal fire and then placed on a layer of clean quartz, covered by a refractory pot, and sintered for twenty minutes at the maximum temperature that could be reached in a wind furnace.
The origin of the name is uncertain but probably comes from the Latin "spina", meaning "thorn", in reference to sharply pointed crystals. It is an excellent refractory material and has been used in many high-temperature applications.
Kyanite is also used as a refractory material for high-temperature furnaces, kilns, incinerators and reactors. When heated to 1370°C, kyanite converts to mullite (porcelainite).
Creation of cast or mold is first and foremost requirement for casting. Mold is the reverse shape of the jewelry part which is made from a refractory material, for example, sand. Molds can be created, either for temporary use or for permanent use.
Dolomite
Usually gray, pink, or white mineral, essentially used as a construction and ceramic material, for a furnace refractory, and in fertilizer. A magnesia-rich sedimentary rock resembling limestone.
Industrial/economical uses:
Peridote (a translucent variety of olivine) is considered a 'gem' mineral. Also used as a refractory sand and infrequently as an abrasive.
