Rutile, Royal Ontario Museum mineral collection. Rutile is titanium dioxide (TiO2).
"Rutile has one of the highest refractive indices at visible wavelengths of any known crystal and also exhibits a particularly large birefringence (splits a ray of light into two beams) and high dispersion (rainbow effect)."
