About rutile
Rutile is a titanium dioxide mineral (TiO₂) that typically forms prismatic or acicular crystals. It is best known to gem collectors for its high refractive index and dispersion, which can produce exceptional brilliance and 'fire' in faceted stones, and for rutile inclusions in other gems (e.g., rutilated quartz). Colors range from red and brown to yellow and black. With Mohs hardness about 6–6.5 and distinct cleavage, rutile is brittle and mainly a collector gemstone.
