******RUTILE*******

Some info I've dug up on rutile since it appears to be a very good form of Titanium Oxide $$$$$$$

RUTILE

mineral, one of three forms of titanium dioxide (TiO2). It occurs in crystals, often in twins or rosettes, and is typically brownish red, although there are black varieties. Rutile is found in igneous and metamorphic rocks, chiefly in Switzerland, Norway, Brazil, and parts of the U.S.

This is from Encarta

Rutile, brilliant red or black mineral, with diamondlike luster, composed of titanium oxide, TiO2. It crystallizes in the tetragonal system, usually in prismatic crystals ranging from opaque to transparent and occasionally in compact massive formations. Rutile has a hardness of 6 to 6.5 and a specific gravity of 4.18 to 4.25.

Rutile is used as a source of titanium, and some deeply colored specimens are cut into brilliant gems. The mineral is associated with granite, dolomite, metamorphic limestone, and mica schist. It is found in the United States and Europe.
