Introduction
It is a Black mineral, iron titanium oxide, FeTiO3, crystallizing in the hexagonal system. It is sometimes found as tabular hexagonal crystals but occurs more commonly as small grains in igneous and metamorphic rocks and in sands derived from them. Ilmenite has been noted as an important constituent of lunar rocks. It is the commonest titanium mineral and is the most important source of this element and its compounds. Over 3 million tons of Ilmenite are mined annually and important producers are the United States, Canada, Australia, and Norway.

Environment
In metamorphic and plutonic rocks and in pegmatite.

Crystal description
Equidimensional to tabular, and down to fine, scaly crystals. Also compact, massive, or granular; and as black sand.

Physical properties
Black to brownish black (geikielite) and deep red (pyrophanite). Luster metallic to submetallic; hardness 5-6; specific gravity 4.1-4.8; streak brown, reddish brown to ocher yellow; fracture conchoidal to subconchoidal; cleavage none in ilmenite (rhombohedral in geikielite and pyrophanite). Brittle; ilmenite is weakly magnetic.
