Talk:Rutile

message: The statement "(Rutile) is primarily extracted for use in refractory manufacture or use as a base for paints. Rarely is it extracted as an ore of titanium" is questionable. TIMET - a global leader in Titanium based metal production for aerospace and other industries (as well as Russian and other manufacturers) chlorinate rutile ores as a first step in producing titanium tetrachloride, the intermediary in the production of titanium sponge - the raw material for titanium metal products.

replies: text: I agree,  its a very questionable point.  Rutile is mined for the purpose of .... selling rutile.   What the processor does with it,  is up to them.  It is not mined for some specific purpose.  So I have reworded the sentence.Eregli bob (talk) 03:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Doesn't the figure for the structure have the aspect ratio flipped? The rutile unit cell has two long axes and one short axis, so that it's shaped more like a pizza box than a bread box, right? --SarahLawrence Scott (talk) 20:00, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

What is this map showing?  What are its units? ——JavaRogers (talk) 00:24, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It's showing rutile output as a percentage of Australia's rutile output, Australia being the leading producer. Units are percent. It seems as good a way as any to depict the relative importance of different rutile mining disticts -- though one can raise questions about how the production is aggregated. --Kent G.

message: Hello, the hematite picture from Cavradi is completely misleading. There is probably only very minor rutile on that specimen. This is a typical hematite specimen. 
Moreover, this image comes originally from a mineral dealer, via mindat.org, therefore I see potential problems with copyright. And it may be considered as a commercial advertisement for that dealer on wikipedia. so long, Christian
