Ceramic complex and method for producing the same

A method for producing a ceramic complex, comprising:

• preparing a raw material mixture that contains first rare earth aluminate fluorescent material particles containing an activating element and a first rare earth element different from the activating element, oxide particles containing a second rare earth element, and aluminum oxide particles,
• wherein a content of the first rare earth aluminate fluorescent material particles is in a range of 5% by mass or more and 14% by mass or less, a content of the oxide particles containing the second rare earth element is in a range of 5% by mass or more and 32% by mass or less, and a content of the aluminum oxide particles is the balance, relative to 100% by mass of a total amount of the first rare earth aluminate fluorescent material particles, the oxide particles containing the second rare earth element, and the aluminum oxide particles;
• preparing a molded body of the raw material mixture;
• and
• obtaining a sintered body by calcining the molded body in a temperature range of 1,550° C. or higher and 1,800° C. or lower.
