Magnéliite
Magnéliite is a rare titanium oxide mineral with the chemical formula Ti³⁺₂Ti⁴⁺₂O₇, indicating a combination of titanium in both trivalent and tetravalent oxidation states. It crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system, specifically in the triclinic-pedial space group. The mineral is notable for its metallic luster and dark gray to black color. It has a hardness of approximately 5.5 to 6 on the Mohs scale and a relatively high density. Magnéliite belongs to the oxide mineral class and is considered a non-stoichiometric compound due to the variable oxidation states of titanium. It is of interest in mineralogical and materials science studies due to its unique chemical and structural properties.
