Brookite

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikisource has an original article from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica about:

Brookite is a mineral consisting of titanium oxide, TiO2, and hence identical with rutile and anatase in composition, but crystallizing in the orthorhombic system (see crystal structure).

It was named for Henry James Brooke, English mineralogist, 1771 - 1857.
