The rough, granular surface features abundant fine mineral grains, scattered small cavities, and irregular patches of vivid yellow-orange iron oxide staining. Its naturally weathered texture and contrasting colors highlight the specimen's distinctive sedimentary character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIlmenite is an iron-titanium oxide mineral (FeTiO₃) and an important natural source of titanium. It commonly occurs as an accessory mineral in igneous and metamorphic rocks and can become concentrated in sedimentary deposits through weathering, erosion, and transportation. In sandstone, dense, dark ilmenite grains may accumulate alongside quartz and other resistant minerals, providing an interesting example of mineral concentration through geological processes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Crystalary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67933393420419,"sku":"barrydwr5-2of2-127","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0390\/4634\/8931\/files\/IMG_34862.jpg?v=1792266952","url":"https:\/\/www.thecrystalary.com\/products\/banded-agate-with-quartz-druzy-mexico-copy","provider":"The Crystalary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
