	BROOKITE - LoveToKnow Article on BROOKITE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The acute bisectrix of the optic axes is perpendicular to the orthopinacoid (a) for all colors, so that this phenomenon of the crossing of the optic axial planes may be readily observed in the thin tabular crystals of the first-mentioned type.
		Brookite occurs only as crystals, never in compact masses, and is usually associated with either anatase or rutile.
		Crystals of brookite, as well as of anatase and rutile, have been prepared artificially by the interaction of steam and titanium fluoride, the particular modification of titanium dioxide which results depending on the temperature at which the reaction takes place.

		Brookite is a transparent to opaque mineral that occurs in various shades of red- and yellow-brown through dark brown to fl.
		It is brittle with a subconchoidal to irregular fracture and exhibits indistinct cleavage on {120} and a trace on {001}.
		Brookite is orthorhombic (2/m 2/m 2/m) and is typically encountered in crystals that are tabular on {010} and elongate and striated parallel with [001].

	Mineralogical Record: Brookite: From Hale Creek, Trinity County, California
		Brookite, the orthorhombic trimorph of TiO^sub 2^, occurs in fine, doubly terminated, deep reddish brown crystals in chert cutting Hale Creek, Trinity County, California.
		Among the three crystallographic variations of TiO^sub 2^, anatase and brookite are the rarest in California.
		The brookite crystals attain a maximum length of 3 mm, and occur either free-standing on the quartz or lying flat.

		Description: Brookite is a relatively uncommon mineral found as an accessory in a number of igneous and metamorphic rocks including granites, syenites, gneisses, and schists.
		MARATHON COUNTY: Brookite is widespread as fl, green, yellow and light brown stubby to platy crystals averaging 1 mm.
		WOOD COUNTY: Brookite is rarely found as tan micro-crystals associated with anatase and rutile at the Tork and Haessley Quarries near Wisconsin Rapids (Buchholz, 1996).

	Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Brookite is rare, but is found most often in hydrothermal zones associated with contact metamorphism (Force 1991).
		This was later supported by observation of rutile (Penn and Banfield 1999) and brookite (Penn and Banfield 1998) at the {112} twin boundaries in anatase nanocrystals.
		The structure of both brookite and anatase can be described as the stacking of slabs of octahedra with different orientations (brookite: AABB along [100]; anatase: AAAA along [101]), and like anatase, brookite contains "half" of the rutile structure (ABAB along [100]; Banfield and Veblen 1992).

	Magnet Cove Mineral Photos, Rockhounding Arkansas
		Brookite on smoky quartz has been collected in the Magnet Cove area since before 1850.
		In this specimen, brookite formed first and as the temperature rose, rutile began to replace it.
		So this example retains the external crystal shape (form) of brookite, but is now composed of numerous interlocking small crystals of rutile.

		Maximum yield of brookite occurs with a 0.05 molar titanium ion concentration.
		Dried brookite powder will be placed in alumina crucibles set in a steel block and heated to the appropriate temperature, similar to kinetic experiments with anatase (Banfield et al.
		Brookite is less stable than anatase and rutile (Post and Burnham 1986), so the reaction should proceed more quickly.

	Rutile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rutile has a sub-conchoidal fracture, is brittle, has a metallic-adamantine lustre, and is generally reddish brown but also sometimes yellowish, bluish, or violet.
		Rutile is the most stable form of titanium dioxide and is produced at the highest temperatures, with brookite being formed at lower temperatures and octahedrite being formed at still lower temperatures.
		Rutile is found as an accessory mineral in some altered igneous rocks, and in certain gneisses and schists.

		Samples contained brookite, anatase, rutile and the new corundum-like phase: Brookite's concentration was larger than 50 wt%, while the one of the corundum-like phase reached 20(6) wt%.
		The local symmetry and the atomic bond lengths of these two phases depended on the crystallite size; for both, there is a correlation between the evolution of the atomic bond lengths with temperature and their transformation into another phase.
		The hydrothermal conditions stabilized brookite, anatase, and the corundum-like phase at high temperature: This last phase was stable in air, even at 900 deg.

		Although the Magnet Cove area of Arkansas was noted before 1850 in the literature (Macrery 1806; Schoolcraft 1819; Bringier 1821; Featherstonhaugh 1835; Powell 1842), it was not seriously noticed by mineralogists and mineral collectors until the publication of Shepard's paper (1846) concerning the discovery of "arkansite" (brookite).
