Notes
(Richard Willis)
Mineral, TiO2, with a typical empirical analysis of Ti 59.95%, O 40.05%
Hardness: 5.5-6 Density: 3.8-3.9 Insoluble in acids
A crystallized form of titanium oxide. For pottery, one of the less “fusibly” usable forms, as is, of the titanium oxide minerals, other more usable forms being brookite and rutile. However, it begins converting to rutile at 700ºC and effects colorant changes which rutile per se would not. Metamorphic and magmatic.
