Rutile

Rutile: Titanium’s Brilliant Natural Form

Rutile is the most abundant naturally occurring form of titanium dioxide (TiO₂), prized by mineral collectors for its metallic luster, needle-like crystal formations, and striking reddish to reddish-brown hues. These slender, high-density crystals often form as inclusions within other minerals, such as quartz, creating intricate internal patterns that are both scientifically fascinating and visually stunning.

Rutile's brilliant reflectivity, hardness, and crystallography make it a favorite for collectors and geological enthusiasts alike—especially when found in well-formed sprays or included in transparent host crystals.

This collection includes hand-selected rutile specimens, both as freestanding crystals and within matrix or quartz, chosen for their visual impact and structural clarity.

10% of every purchase supports environmental foundations in rutile-producing regions.
