  • Titanium is common in earths crust (and in space)
  • Hardness is decent
  • Crystal structure is simple
  • Unit cell is not a bit fragmented (choose other unit cell?)

Overall a good structural base material for gemstone metamaterial technology for larger scale construction.

  • Formula: TiO2
  • Hardness Mohs 5.5 to 6.0
  • Crystal system: orthorhombic
  • Density ~4,133g/ccm
  • Refractive index: nα = 2,583, nβ = 2,584, nγ = 2,700 – quite high
