ilmenites

il·men·ite (

-n

)

A lustrous black to brownish titanium ore, essentially FeTiO₃.

[After the Ilmen Mountains, a range of the southern Ural Mountains.]

ilmenite [ˈɪlmɪˌnaɪt]

(Earth Sciences / Minerals) a black mineral found in igneous rocks as layered deposits and in veins. It is the chief source of titanium. Composition: iron titanium oxide. Formula: FeTiO₃. Crystal structure: hexagonal (rhombohedral)

[from Ilmen, mountain range in the southern Urals, Russia, + -ite¹]
