Brookite belongs to the family of titanium dioxide minerals, and it is one of the most unusual and fascinating in terms of gemstones.loid It is characterized by peculiar crystal forms, usually dark, metallic shine, and tends to be brown, black, or reddish-brown in color. It occurs in high-altitude alpine environments and hydrothermal veins. Brookeite crystals show a tabular to prismatic habit with sharp terminations and are particularly appreciated for their overall appearances. Although brookite is a quite rare mineral to be used in jewelry due to its rarity and brittleness, it is highly regarded by collectors of minerals due to its aesthetic and crystallographic properties. It is said to help with energy flow, spiritual growth, personal transformation, and is thus very much used for metaphysical purposes.
