Rutile has several important industrial applications due to its high refractive index and strong resistance to heat and chemical corrosion. One of its main uses is as a pigment in paints, plastics, ceramics, and other materials. It imparts a bright white color and excellent opacity to these products. Rutile is also used as a source of titanium metal, which has a wide range of applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical devices. In addition to its industrial uses, rutile is valued as a collector’s mineral and gemstone. Transparent rutile crystals are sometimes cut and polished for use as gemstones. These specimens, known as “rutilated quartz,” display fine needle-like rutile inclusions that create unique and visually striking patterns within the quartz.
