Rutile

Rutile is a titanium dioxide mineral known for its lustrous metallic to submetallic sheen and striking needle-like crystal formations. Typically appearing in shades of golden, reddish-brown, or black, rutile often forms slender prismatic crystals or radiating clusters, and is famously included within quartz as fine needles. Found in igneous and metamorphic environments, rutile's unique crystal habit and brilliance make it a fascinating addition to any mineral collection.
