Rutilite Rutilite, also known as Rutile, is a mineral which consists of titanium dioxide, generally with a little iron. It is typically of reddish-brown in color, but deep red or black, with brilliant metallic or diamond-like luster is also seen.

In times past, it is said that the rutilite represented both, the lovely hair of Venus and the "sweet-tipped" arrows of love. It is also believed that it repels negative energy. It is useful in healing and brings awareness of the reason for diseases so that one can cure the disease easily. Rutile also helps in stabilizing marriages and other relationships apart from curing bronchitis, promoting lactation and putting a sparkle in the eyes.

Rutilite is said to be originated in Africa. It is used for making one-of-a-kind ornate jewelry. Its hardness is 8 on Mohs scale and specific gravity, 3.4 - 3.5.
