Sep 15, 2021 at 18:29 comment added Dale Cieslak I think Marty's first point is that, for example, ruby is aluminum oxide with chromium impurities giving the reddish color. However, you cannot mix an aluminum oxide shader with a chromium shader and expect to get ruby. Cycles isn't physically correct like that, and a simple "mix" shader wouldn't behave the same as impurities in a crystal lattice.
