Brookite is a rare mineral that belongs to the titanium oxide group. It is typically brown to black in color and has a tetragonal crystal structure. Brookite is known for its high refractive index and dispersion, making it a popular choice for gemstone collectors and enthusiasts.
Brookite is primarily found in regions with metamorphic or pegmatitic rocks, such as Switzerland, Brazil, Pakistan, and the United States (Colorado and Arkansas). It is often associated with other titanium minerals like rutile and anatase.
Titanium ores can occur as ilmenite, rutile, and titanium dioxide minerals such as brookite and anatase. These ores are typically found in beach sands, placer deposits, and igneous rocks.
Titania, also known as titanium dioxide (TiO2), is a compound made up of titanium and oxygen. It occurs naturally in several mineral forms, including rutile, anatase, and brookite. Titania is widely used in various applications, including as a pigment in paints, coatings, and plastics due to its high refractive index and strong UV light absorption properties.
Titanium oxide is also called titanium dioxide. It is a compound and occurs in the minerals rutile, anatase and brookite.

false a mineral can not scratch any mineral harder than itself
When a mineral can scratch another mineral, it means that the mineral is harder than the mineral it can scratch. Hardness is a measure of a mineral's resistance to being scratched, with the Mohs scale commonly used to rank minerals based on their hardness.
