Ilmenite Mineral Description. Ilmenite is an iron-oxide mineral of the oxide and hydroxide group with structural formula (Fe,Ti) 2 O 3.The structure is similar to that of hematite, where the two Fe 3+ in hematite are replaced by one Fe 2+ and one Ti 4+ in ilmenite. It consists essentially of a dense arrangement of Fe 2+ and Ti 4+ ions in octahedral coordination …Web

Ilmenite is an opaque accessory mineral in a wide range of igneous and metamorphic rocks, especially gabbroic varieties, where it is associated with hematite and magnetite as lattice-type intergrowths, and other minerals such as plagioclase and hornblende. Masses of ilmenite were found in several emery mines in the USA, Norway, Canada and Russia.Web
