Maurogemmiite

Ti10Fe3O3
Hexagonal root IMA approved

Maurogemmiite is a rare mineral with the chemical formula titanium ten iron three oxide, Ti10Fe3O3. It crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal system and is characterized by its metallic luster and dark coloration. As an oxide mineral, it belongs to the broader classification of inorganic compounds primarily composed of oxygen and metal elements. Its physical properties include a hardness that is typical of oxides, though specific values are not commonly reported, and a relatively high density due to its iron and titanium content. Maurogemmiite is notable for its unique composition and structure, which contribute to its distinctiveness within the mineralogical record.
