Rutile
Rutile is a titanium dioxide mineral composed of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and is one of the two most common forms of titanium dioxide minerals, the other being anatase.

The name is derived from the word "Ruttel," the German word for "jumbled" or "confused," because of the mineral's tendency to form textured aggregates. Rutile is usually a slow-spreading mineral, but fast-spreading varieties also exist, known as 'globules' of anatase-rich fluid.<br><br>Rutile is a common mineral in igneous and metamorphic rocks, particularly in garnet peridotite and ultramafic inclusions.

Rutile is an indicator of igneous activity and temperature.<br><br>Rutile is insoluble in acids, water-soluble titanium dioxide is not found in rutile deposits; however, it can be manufactured by dissolving the rutile in sulfuric acid to produce TiO2. It is also used as a mineral filler for ceramics, and in aquasco project it is also called for flame,rutile being frequently associated with titanium dioxide-reirting chrysotile, and willemite.
