The study of titanium silicate minerals is a fascinating area within mineralogy that focuses on the crystal structures and chemical properties of minerals containing titanium and silicon.

Sometimes they have an iron core and concentric layers, surrounded by a silicate mantle and crust. Iron meteorites are mainly made of an iron-nickel alloy with a distinctive crystalline structure ...

Chain and sheet silicates are highly relevant to geologically active systems. Changes to the properties to these minerals effects how they store water and can influence volcanic activity and ...

The mineral is a high-pressure calcium silicate perovskite which has been theorized by experts but never found in nature, before the find in Botswana. Observations regarding the mineral have been ...
