Some Nut back in the 80's in San Francisco claimed a Man from the future gave him the formula.

I invented glass as hard as steel years ago. I just couldn’t solve the one pesky problem of not being able to see through it.

Aluminum Oxide, industrial Sapphire, has been used on expensive watch lens for decades.
I know Apple looked at them for the latest iPhone but could not get it produced in sufficient quantities fast enough.

As I have had to pay $300 to replace the glass on my phone, from accidentally dropping it, I would pay an extra $100 to guarantee that I wouldn’t have to do that on my next phone.
