    Now you've found two different definitions of what it might be :-)
    If it's synthetic rutile, the raw material is worth maybe three times
    as much, but it's still pretty cheap. If it matters, the specific
    gravity may be the easiest way to distinguish them, since they're
    loose stones. The SG for rutile is listed as 4.23, strontium titanate
    4.88
