Schreyerite
Schreyerite is a rare mineral with the chemical formula V³⁺2Ti3O9, composed primarily of vanadium, titanium, and oxygen. It crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system and is classified under the Strunz classification as 4.CB.35. This mineral exhibits a metallic luster and typically displays a dark gray to black color. Its hardness and density are not explicitly documented, but as a titanium-vanadium oxide, it is likely to be relatively dense. Schreyerite is a member of the oxide mineral group, and its composition and structure reflect the complex bonding typical of such minerals.
