Ilmenite massive.
It is a rare mineral whose main use is as a titanium ore. It is used in the medical industry to build bone prostheses, as well as in the aviation industry, to build rockets and airplanes due to its low density and high resistance.
The mineral includes a label with the name and origin and is attached to a 4 cm square cardboard box.
*The price is per unit (a single cardboard box of the four shown in the image)
Since the minerals are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The minerals come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the mineral. The size is approximate.
