    Occurrence

    Titanium is found in various natural sources, including minerals, rocks, and the Earth's crust.

    • Ninth most abundant element in Earth's crust (0.63% by weight)
    • Never found as pure metal in nature due to reactivity
    • Main ore minerals include ilmenite, rutile, and titanite
    • Present in almost all rocks, sand, clay, and other soils
    • Also found in plants, animals, and natural waters in trace amounts
