The mineral Titania is found in large, well-formed crystals at
localities around the world. Over 100 color photos display three of
the common titanium dioxide minerals: rutile, anatase, and
brookite, along with a variety of interesting mineralogical
phenomena. These are specimens the average collector will be able
to obtain and study. The text is informative and thorough, listing
the classic localities and describing both their fascinating
diversity, including such phenomena as oriented growth, twinning,
and pseudomorphism. The book also provides a solid explanation of
the structures of rutile, anatase, and brookite and their phase
relations. Their formation and geochemistry is described along with
the environments in which the minerals were formed. For anyone
fascinated by engaging minerals, this book will be a treasured
source of useful information.
